The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as a guarantee that disadvantaged farmers and workers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

The Fairtrade Foundation is the independent body in the UK that awards the FAIRTRADE Mark to products that meet Fairtrade standards. The foundation is part of an international network of 20 organisations that are members of the standard-setting and certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Over 1000 products carry the FAIRTRADE Mark - coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, sugar, bananas, other fresh and dried fruit, juices, honey, cakes and snacks, preserves, nuts, oils, herbs, spices, rice, beer, rum, wine, roses, cotton products and sports balls.

You can find products carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark in supermarkets, local shops, cafes,  bars, restaurants, health food and fairtrade shops, from catering suppliers, by mail order and online.

A selection of goods is available at WBC on one Sunday morning per month.
