i have another link for you, in which mars admits to testing a 'healthy' chocolate ingredient on animals.

Christophe Dandoy, director of communications for Mars France, admitted that the business division Symbioscience does test on animals while developing products containing flavanols.

He also claimed, however, that the Mars is still committed to animal welfare, and does not test on animals when developing other products for the food, beverage or pet care divisions.
