Many brands of coconut milk do NOT use monkey labor, instead opting for safer, more humane methods of production. Some of the most popular brands include Thai Kitchen, So Delicious, and Silk.
These brands all use advanced technology to quickly and easily extract the coconut milk from unopened coconuts, eliminating the possibility of animal labor and abuse. These brands also partner with farmers that do not force monkeys or other animals to collect coconuts, further ensuring that the production of coconut milk is humane.
