Where to Find Fair Trade Chocolate

Your guide to finding ethically sourced fair trade chocolate.

When it comes to revolutionizing the cocoa industry, your job is the easiest… and the tastiest.

You may not know it based on first glance, but chocolate products go through a lengthy process to earn the Fair Trade Certified™ label.

It’s not an easy process. You can thank them for their commitment, and incentivize even more sustainably-made chocolate, by enjoying fair trade chocolate in its many forms, from chocolate bars, powders, and baking chips to ingredients in energy bars and snacks.
