Fair Trade Certified^™ Chocolate

We believe good practices and good products go hand in hand. That’s why we partner with Fair Trade USA to source cocoa and chocolate chips used in LÄRABAR Original Fruit & Nut Bars and LÄRABAR Protein bars.For more information, you can visit FairTradeUSA.org.

Fair Trade USA’s mission is to cultivate a more equitable global trade model that benefits farmers, workers, consumers, industry and earth. When a product is Fair Trade Certified, it means that it was produced in an ethical manner; using environmentally sustainable farming methods are required, safe work conditions are ensured, and forced child and slave labor are prohibited.

In some cases, the product might cost a little more – but that premium is routed back to the community where, by a democratic system, the farmers decide how to invest the funds.

We are proud to support Fair Trade farmers through these flavors:
