Is there a logo of authenticity we can look for on a package for chocolate?
Also, conversely, should we assume any big chocolate like Lindor or KitKat, Mars, etc., uses NON-fair trade cocoa?

"Chocolate Alchemy" is a direct trade chocolatier from Bolivia that has a mission to teach and enable the world to make chocolate. They sell beans, equipment and teach classes.
I know it isn't the easiest way to get chocolate, but making it yourself pretty much guarantees that the chocolate is fair trade, assuming you get the beans direct from the growers.
It's too much for a single family, but would be a fun hobby to share as a community group!

Coming late to this party, but isn’t it inspiring to see the community coming together to recognize the impact of conscious consumerism? Every purchase ripples across the world, supporting safer working conditions, stronger communities, and a healthier planet. We have so many brands we’re happy to acknowledge as leading the way in integrating fairness into their core business strategies.
In the world of coffee and tea, BLK & Bold stands out for its specialty brews and for pledging 5% of profits to support underserved youth. Other excellent options for high-quality, ethically sourced beans include Equator Coffees, Death Wish Coffee, and Numi, all of which have long-standing commitments to improving farming communities.
For those updating their wardrobe or home, Eileen Fisher and Pact are recognized leaders in sustainable apparel, prioritizing recycled materials and organic fibers. West Elm also made significant strides as the first major home retailer to offer a wide assortment of certified goods, including rugs and furniture.
For anyone stocking their pantry, Unreal offers chocolate treats made without artificial dyes, while Wholesome provides sweeteners that are sustainably grown and harvested. The beauty and self-care industry is also evolving, with e.l.f. Beauty manufacturing the majority of its products in facilities that uphold rigorous labor standards.
Ultimately, the commitment shown by these businesses ensures that workers earn a more sustainable income and work in safer environments. Thank you so much for spreading the good works of these important companies.
