Target is joining Costco and a number of other United States companies in dropping coconut milk producer Chaokoh from its line of products amid allegations that the company uses forced monkey labor to gather coconuts.
Target removed Chaokoh’s products because it found that Chaokoh failed to “address the concern raised,” according to USA Today.
“We believe in the humane treatment of animals and expect those who do business with us to do the same,” Target said on Monday. “We take seriously the claims made against Chaokoh, and given they were unable to sufficiently address the concerns raised, we made the decision to remove their product from our assortment in November 2020.”
