Wish4 Fairtrade is getting together with Waterford IT & Bewleys on Friday Oct 16th to launch the new range of Fairtrade muffins. The day coincides with UN World Food Day, so its very appropriate we should encourage people to think more about where all their food comes from, and make sure those who do the work get paid fairly. Toffee, Chocolate, Lemon & Blueberry varieties all have sauce fillings, and made with sugar from the Kasinthula Cane Growers, near Blantyre in Malawi. These people also contrbute less than .75 tons of carbon a year to global warming while we clock up 17.5 tons. So bring on the muffins, and you can order your own from www.wish4fairtrade.com
Sometimes the price premium on Fairtrade products seems rather excessive. Take a look at this ! FFI make most of the own brand instant Fairtrade coffee in europe. Their product sells in Tesco for €2.77/100g. The Nestle Nescafe Partners Blend sits next to it at a ridiculous €4.53/100g. Something not fair somewhere wethinks ??
