Loving the Huel! Lots of articles in the news today about UK stores dropping certain coconut brands, apparently you can mass-torture monkeys to harvest coconuts.
So Huel contains MCT which is from coconut? What info is there on Huel’s general sourcing? And is it possible to verify things are fair trade non torture etc?
its all in their guide articles - it’s pretty transparent and easy to find if you bother to look for it. In the case of the MCT they use - the coconut oil originates from Indonesia and Malaysia and is processed into MCT powder in China - so no trained Thai monkeys were harmed or oppressed in the manufacture of it.
We don’t condone using monkeys to harvest coconuts. We have statements against the use of monkeys as part of our quality control procedure. The Vegan Society checks all of our ingredient specifications and query where they have any concerns. We haven’t been questioned about any of our current ingredients.
