Celebrating Non-GMO and Fair Trade Month

6 October 2020 | Melissa Weinstein, Fairtrade America Marketing Coordinator

Now -more than ever- shoppers are asking the important questions.

Where is my food coming from?

Was my product ethically sourced?

Is my purchase helping or harming people and the planet?

We believe consumers have a right to these answers. That’s why this October, we’re partnering with the Non-GMO Project to spread the word about Non-GMO and Fair Trade Month.

Both of these certifications are making it possible for shoppers to demand transparency from their favorite brands. Every time you see the Fairtrade Mark, you can rest assured knowing that the product was made with ingredients that met our rigorous economic, social and environmental standards.

In fact, many products have both seals on their packaging.

Check out these co-certified brands and consider entering our Fair Trade Month giveaway if you like what you see!
