Fairtrade Mark with an arrow
Use the Fairtrade Mark with an arrow on products with multiple ingredients like chocolate bars or granola. All the ingredients that are available under Fairtrade conditions have to be purchased under Fairtrade terms (e.g.: the cocoa, sugar, vanilla, etc.). This Mark with an arrow is also used on single-ingredient products that have been sourced using “mass balance.” This is possible only for cocoa, sugar, fruit juice and tea. The Fairtrade Mark must always be accompanied by the Fairtrade on-pack claim.

Fairtrade Sourced Ingredient (FSI) Mark
The Fairtrade Sourced Ingredient (FSI) Mark is used when a product has multiple ingredients and at least one of them is purchased on Fairtrade terms. 100% of the chosen Fairtrade ingredient in composite products, product ranges or categories must be sourced on Fairtrade terms in order to use the FSI Mark. For example, the cocoa in a chocolate bar may be Fairtrade certified while the sugar and vanilla are not. Therefore, this particular chocolate bar will use the FSI Mark for cocoa. The FSI Mark must always be accompanied by the FSI on-pack claim.
