Who are you?: Cathy Lewis, I work at Aberdeen City Council, was previously a trustee for Aberdeen for a Fairer World and I am interested in Fairtrade because paying people a fair price is simply the right thing to do.
What is your Fairtrade item?: Vego chocolate bar.
Why?: Mainly because I love chocolate. This is the best tasting dairy-free milk chocolate bar I’ve found. As well as being fairtrade, it’s organic, palm oil free, vegan and gluten free too. It’s big and chunky and full of hazelnuts. If you like nuts and chocolate, you’ll love Vego.
There are other delicious vegan products available from Vego. To find out more visit https://vego-chocolate.com/gb.
Many of us love a chocolate bar but do we know the journey it has taken when we’re tucking in? This video will let you see where chocolate comes from and explain why being Fairtrade is so important.
