Your Guide to Coconut Products That Aren’t Made With Monkey Labor

Not all coconut products are made the same way. In fact, some producers based in Thailand force monkeys to pick coconuts and keep them chained and confined to cages for extended periods of time. These naturally social primates are kept in isolation from each other and denied the freedom to move around. However, it’s easy to avoid products that are produced using these cruel methods, whether you’re looking for coconut milk, cream, water, oil, or any other coconut-based vegan products. The products below are made by companies that don’t use monkey labor to harvest coconuts.

  1. Is there a better list available?

    There are so many products at US stores
    yogurt, milk, sour cream, butter etc; that all use coconuts and I don’t know which to buy

    1. Ace, PETA would probably be your best bet for finding a better list of safe coconut sources.
