Willy Wonka would love this laboratory that checks the quality of chocolate

NPR reports on a chocolate industry laboratory initiative called the 'Standard of Excellence' program that evaluates cacao beans from around the world, with benefits intended for both consumers and farmers. The article is bylined to Ari Daniel at NPR, a major national outlet, and uses accessible, light language appropriate to the subject matter. However, the metadata provided contains limited substantive detail—no specifics about which companies operate the lab, its location, testing methodology, or concrete outcomes for farmers. Independent search results show substantial coverage of related chocolate industry developments, particularly Cadbury's $120-150 million chocolate experience center in Tasmania, though it's unclear if the NPR piece directly addresses this project or a separate quality-testing initiative; the search results do not directly corroborate the 'Standard of Excellence' program mentioned in the NPR headline.
