About Planet A Foods

We couldn’t ignore the problem. The chocolate industry has long contributed to environmental harm and human exploitation. We are unwilling to stand by this, as we believe in protecting our planet and the people that create the foods we love… So we created the world’s first 100% cocoa-free chocolate alternative, ChoViva, which delivers a rich, roasted flavour with a solid snap, smooth melt, and subtle sweetness - all while being climate-friendly 

At Planet A Foods, we are on a mission to create dramatically more sustainable food ingredients, and thus save millions of tons of CO2 emissions each year. And cocoa is just the beginning…
