Ban the import of non-fair trade chocolate and cocoa

What the petition asks
To pass legislation that requires all cocoa imported into the UK to be produced to fair trade standards
As we are beginning to realise that black lives matter, the country's biggest selling chocolate bar is pulling out of the Fairtrade scheme. This could have a massive impact on black lives in cocoa producing nations including Ivory Coast.
