This is massive news for the FT label and great news for growers in developing countries. And there I was thinking that by buying-out Green&Blacks, the opposite would happen. Positive news for the future! Cadburys have just announced that Dairy Milk will be going fair trade by the end of summer 2009. This is massive news for the FT label and great news for growers in developing countries.

Hattie, with a little nudge from HFW in the foreword gives us the grisly detail. Reading this is akin to cleaning out the hamster’s cage - when it died in there months ago - it has to be done but you’ll feel genuinely relived you did. For a full review of the book click here.

An enjoyable review to kick off, though as you say, hardly appetising. The agency where I work has RSPCA Freedom Food as a client, so we are quite aware of these issues, and Jamie and Hugh have done their bit to raise the profile too, so I hope habits are starting to change.
