Fair Trade: A Sweet Deal
Posted September 30th 2011
Fair trade Gummy Bears? You can’t mean it! Yes, fair trade principles have penetrated the confections industry and I’m about to chow down on my first helping of fair trade certified gummy bears, with a choice of plain or sour! Not only that, but I can now get Belgian chocolate-style seashells, chocolate and chocolate/hazelnut spreads and Coke-like fair trade soft drinks! It must be true, then, that fair trade is a sweet deal!

Fair Trade FAQs
How do I know that a product is really a fair trade product?
The term “fair trade” is not copyrighted or regulated in Canada, so any company can use it to describe their products. So as they say, “consumer, beware.”
