The First Fairtrade Certified Cookie

The First Fairtrade Certified Cookie

Finally, a cookie you can always feel great about. As part of this October’s Fair Trade month, Grace Farms Foods launched the first Fairtrade certified chocolate chip cookie in the U.S. Developed in collaboration with celebrity chef and Chopped Champion®, Silvia Baldini, Grace Farms is extending its model of impact with each delightfully delicious, purpose filled cookie.Grace Farms has partnered with Fairtrade America to source and certify cocoa, sugar, and vanilla in this first-of-its kind chocolate chip cookie recipe. Unknown to most consumers, chocolate, sugar, and vanilla are considered ‘highly at-risk’ of forced labor and child labor. Fairtrade is an ethical certification system that promotes equality and sustainability on farms and in supply chains. Fairtrade stands for changing the way that trade works. It is an alternative approach to trade based on partnership instead of exploitation. Through Fairtrade, consumers can support farming communities and push for fairer trading conditions. The Fairtrade label on products means farmers were fairly compensated for their goods and produced them in compliance with Fairtrade’s rigorous social, economic and environmental standards.The delicious cookies that give back 100% of profits to ending forced labor worldwide are available online, at Amazon, and select retailers.
