Plamil (vegan chocolate including food service)

Plamil was one of England’s first vegan brands, and today still makes vegan chocolate, free from palm oil and in paper packaging. The range includes baking chips, a coffee bar and Plamilla (vegan chocolate spread).

Plamil offers vegan chocolate bars in health shops, and has a wholesale site for chefs and caterers to buy different types of vegan chocolate in bulk.

Avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing.

If ordering online, use a letterbox guard to stop dogs getting to chocolate bars if you’re out. Other ingredients like dried fruits, nuts, coffee, spices and xylitol are also unsafe. 

Try to find chocolate in paper, tin, foil or tins (some ‘biodegradable packaging’ is made from eucalyptus that is from flammable tree plantations, not helping wildfires).
