What the petition asks
We want the fair trade logo to be removed from Cadbury's chocolate as they have now created cocoa life so they get more money.
Cocoa life is not fair trade. Fair trade gives money to the people who deserve it.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The rules on using the Fairtrade logo are not set by the Government or Parliament.
Products with the FAIRTRADE Mark must meet international Fairtrade standards. These are set by the international certification body Fairtrade International. These standards are agreed through research and consultation with members of the Fairtrade scheme, including farmers and workers themselves, traders, NGOs, academic institutions and labelling organisations such as the Fairtrade Foundation.
