YouTuber accuses MrBeast of employeeing child labor for Feastables chocolate production

YouTuber Ahnestly has made allegations against YouTube star Jimmy "MrBeast" regarding the use of child labor. In his YouTube video, titled MrBeast is Still Hiding More... (It's really bad), the YouTuber claimed that MrBeast has been using child labor to produce his Feastables chocolate since late 2023 and that MrBeast "knew" that he would be making use of child labor and forced labor for his chocolate since its conception.

This forms yet another addition to the plethora of allegations being made against MrBeast from various sources, including ex-employee DogPack404 and YouTuber Rosanna Pansino.

YouTuber Ahnestly claims MrBeast utilizes child labor for his chocolate brand Feastables

Providing context to his allegations, Ahnestly stated that the alleged practice of using child labor had been prevalent in Peru, the origin of the cacao beans used for Feastables, for a significant period. Other popular brands, such as Nestlé, Mars, and Hershey, have also been caught up in lawsuits surrounding this alleged use of labor.

Ahnestly asserted that MrBeast's Feastables website claimed to be "Child Labor Free" and "Slave Labor Free" on its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page at the time of its launch in January 2022. In April 2023, a dedicated page regarding their "Slave Free" production was also present on the website. However, in October 2023, these mentions were entirely removed. Since then, no mention of "ethically sourced ingredients" has allegedly been made on the website.

He claimed that MrBeast's team of lawyers and marketers would have been aware of the mentions since talking about ethical sourcing on their website could provide "brand favorability" for the consumers of the chocolate.

Ahnestly also claimed that MrBeast had not put The Rainforest Alliance's certification directly onto the packaging, and had instead mentioned the certification on their website in 2022, which was later removed. He claimed that MrBeast did this as he knew this packaging would require changing eventually, and would thus draw suspicion:

"The only conclusion that I can think of is that MrBeast knew. He knew that one day, they're going to get rid of that certification. You see, if one day that package has a frog logo on it, and the next day, it disappears, people will notice."

Despite the ongoing barrage of allegations against him, MrBeast recently released a new video, involving Mack Hopkins surviving seven days while being stranded inside a cave.
