Listen "Is your favourite chocolate still actually 'chocolate'?"
Episode Synopsis
You've likely noticed the price of your favourite treats creeping up, but now there's a new element: look at the label, and some of the most iconic choccie bars have recently undergone recipe changes so significant they can no longer legally be called 'chocolate'. From soaring cocoa prices driven by climate change to the rise of 'skimpflation,' the confectionery industry is facing a massive shake-up, and one you might notice when you're working through your Stephen's Day chocolate stockpile. We're joined by Gráinne Mullins, founder and CEO of Grá Chocolates, to examine how the global cocoa crisis is hitting the industry and what it means for the future of luxury artisan brands.
