Fairtrade Baby Food first in New Zealand

New Zealand’s leading producer of organic, baby food Only Organic has again shown that they are intent on providing quality healthy food for young children aged between 1 – 5 years. Only Organic recently launched their Mini Chocolate & Coconut Fairtrade Rice Cakes and Yoghurt Rice Cakes are sure to be a healthy and ethical treat for the whole family.

Kristen  Beck - Only Organic's resident nutritionist commented, "Choosing treats that are yummy, but still nutritious is by far your best option. Only Organic’s new Mini Rice Cakes are a healthy treat for toddlers and young children and contain organic, puffed wholegrain rice with organic yoghurt, or (my favourite), organic, fair-trade chocolate are healthy treats that the whole family can share and you can relax and feel good about."

Only Organic's General Manager, Muir McCallum who recently announced Fairtrade certification for the new product said it was important the company endorsed these practices that were also in line with the core principles of organic farming methods. The Fairtrade label is the only independent guarantee that production and trading has been in accordance with internationally accepted standards.

"Fairtrade products benefit marginalised farmers, their families and their communities. Fairtrade also establishes better farming practices so the end result is a superior quality product," he said.

Only Organic products are certified organic, containing no chemical residues, no artificial flavours or colours, no preservatives, no added salt and no GMO ingredients or thickening agents.
