„This high quality organic certified dutch process cocoa powder carries the Fair Trade Certified label, granted by TransFair USA, independent non-profit certifying organization, which guarantees consumers that the cocoa was produced and sourced in a socially responsible manner. Under Fair Trade consumers know that: the cocoa was grown and exported by a democratically organized cooperative of small-scale farmers; the cooperative was paid a fair, above-market price for its crop; and that high labor standards, including those for work safety, child labor and the freedom to organize are followed.“

„The label guarantees consumers that the cocoa was produced and sourced in a socially responsible manner. An independent non-profit certifying body, TransFair USA, certifies both the labor conditions and the prices paid to cocoa farmers and authorizes the use of its label on Equal Exchange's hot cocoa mix. The organic cocoa is grown and supplied by CONACADO, a cooperative of small farmers in the Dominican Republic.“

„Even though Americans spend $13 billion a year on cocoa products, many small-scale family cocoa farmers face tremendous instability. They are often forced to sell their harvest to local middlemen who use rigged scales or misrepresent world prices. Recent media reports of child slavery on West African cocoa estates show the stark contrast between the delicious treat we enjoy and the often difficult working conditions of the people who produce it.“
