Does Hershey's use bone marrow when making chocolate?!


Question: Does Hershey's use bone marrow when making chocolate?
I was talking to a friend and she said that they do. And no I don't mean human bone marrow. I mean animal marrow. I posted this in the food & drink section and they suggested posting it here.

No. Here is the ingredients of a Hershey's chocolate bar:

MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR; MILK; CHOCOLATE; COCOA BUTTER; LACTOSE; MILK FAT;SOY LECITHIN;PGPR, EMULSIFIER; VANILLIN, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR)

PGPR is an emulsifier made from castor beans; it reduces chocolate's viscosity. Most artificial flavors are manufactured chemically in a lab from corn or soy--they wouldn't be made of bone marrow.

There are other reasons not to eat Hershey's chocolate, though--like the fact that mainstream chocolate companies, including Hershey, are complicit in the slave trade of the ivory coast:

No they don't, but they are outsourcing 70% of their production to Mexico. I live near Hershey, PA and a lot of Hershey workers are getting laid off. I won't buy from them knowing that they are greedy and outsourcing more American jobs.



As far as I know, Hershey's is fine for lacto & lacto-ovo vegetarians.



nope look at the ingredients, it says nothing about animals
