Kit Kat to become Fairtrade certified




Today it will be announced that Nestle's Kit Kat is to become a Fairtrade certified product. Baby Milk Action is keeping up its boycott and encouraging others to "buy products from companies with positive business values, not just token initiatives". The Fairtrade Foundation welcomes this as a breakthrough for cocoa farmers in Cote d'Ivoire. There is a similar welcoming statement from a government minister reported in the Guardian. It seems this is likely to be a contraversial one!
