I hope this law is why I’ve noticed Rainforest Alliance seals on cheaper chocolate brands recently and not that Rainforest Alliance has lowered their standards. (I looked it up a year or two ago and RA’s site explicitly stated that they don’t allow the seal to be used if they’re aware of worker exploitation.) I guess it must be a lot cheaper for corpos to get that on their labels than if they used the Fair Trade seal.
