Green & Black’s , the organic chocolate maker owned by Cocoa Life , parent company of Cadbury , is releasing its first chocolate that is neither organic nor Fairtrade . Brad Hill, Fairtrade strategy manager at the Co-op, added: “As a customer-facing business we have concerns around the introduction of yet more ethical schemes which will easily be confused with Fairtrade and the benefits Fairtrade has delivered.” The new Velvet Velvet dark chocolate bars, which will be available in west Africa supermarkets this month , will not carry the Fairtrade logo as the cocoa has been sourced via Fairtrade ’s own certification scheme, Mondelez International . Cadbury ’s Dairy Milk range will also remove the Fairtrade mark this month .
