The Hershey Company
Hershey's cocoa and chocolate products are derived from cacao, which is primarily grown in West Africa and South America. Glyphosate use is widespread in conventional agriculture in those regions, but specific testing data for Hershey's products is limited in U.S.-based independent lab programs. The complexity of cocoa supply chains makes testing difficult.
ClearPantry's current dataset covers 100 grocery products tested by EWG (2018, 2022), Mamavation (2022, 2023, 2026), and US PIRG (2019). The Hershey Company has not been individually tested in these programs. We do not add PPB data without an independent, cited source — and we say so here.
For alternatives, look for USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, or Glyphosate-Free Certified products in this category. Browse the full ranking of 100 products →
Verdict
Hershey's chocolate products have not been individually tested in ClearPantry's current dataset. Organic and fair-trade certified chocolate brands offer certified clean alternatives for consumers seeking lower-residue options.
