As of July 2009 Mars gets a small portion of its chocolate from a supplier that is UTZ Certified Fair Trade. Not all of it is, and they have a long way to go. At this time, M&M/Mars uses more chocolate than all the Fair Trade chocolate produced. However, they did state in April 2009 that all their chocolate will be Fair Trade by 2020.
Prior answers that say "Fair Trade tastes gross" (and I am guessing that is what their multiple misspellings was trying to say) obviously has never eaten Fair Trade chocolate. I find the higher cacao percentage and single source varietals to make a far superior tasting chocolate.
No, because there are implicit costs to the chocolate trade fair
where do fair trade chocolate come from
No, Galaxy is made by the company Mars Incorporated, not Nestle.
See Fair Trade Act
No. Hershey's, Nestle, Mars, all of the big makers aren't fair trade. About 40% of their cocoa is made from slave labour. They buy off the international market, so they claim they cannot differentiate between fair trade and not fair trade.
The FairTrade chocolate maybe?
As of now, Snickers is not certified as Fair Trade. While Mars, the company that produces Snickers, has made commitments to sustainable sourcing, including initiatives for cocoa and palm oil, the specific Fair Trade certification is not applied to Snickers bars. Consumers looking for Fair Trade chocolate should seek products that explicitly carry the Fair Trade certification label.
Cadbry has fair trade chocolate and it is just a milk bar of chocolate but it isn't everywhere.
Divine Chocolate, a leading brand of fair trade chocolate, can be ordered from websites such as the official Divine Chocolate shop and the fair trade store Serrv. Divine Chocolate can also be found locally at grocery stores that sell fair trade and organic food.
Dove chocolate is not certified as Fair Trade. While the brand may source some ingredients ethically, it does not carry the official Fair Trade certification. If you're looking for chocolate with Fair Trade certification, it's best to look for brands that explicitly advertise that status.
Fair trade chocolate is chocolate that is made by people who are paid well for their time and labor, as opposed to slave made chocolate, which is made by slaves, or people who are paid a very small amount for the work they do. Fair trade chocolate is more expensive to buy, because the makers of that chocolate are paid a fair amount the slave don't get paid:p
yes.
