Choose a chocolate box whose exact pack displays a FAIRTRADE Mark, and check whether the mark covers all eligible ingredients or a named ingredient. Divine’s Chunky Chocolate Gift Set has product-level information identifying Fairtrade cocoa and sugar; Tony’s Chocolonely lists Fairtrade gift-box formats, but check the chosen pack’s mark, ingredients and allergens before buying.
If certification is central to the gift, look at the mark on the exact box. The Fairtrade Foundation distinguishes its classic FAIRTRADE Mark from the Fairtrade Sourced Ingredient Mark, which applies to a named ingredient.
If the recipient enjoys different types of chocolate, Divine’s Chunky Chocolate Gift Set offers six 35g bars in a gift box. Check the current assortment and its ingredients against the recipient’s preferences and dietary needs.
Tony’s Chocolonely UK lists Fairtrade gift boxes, tasting packs and personalised bars. Choose the format the recipient would appreciate, then check the exact product and delivery details.
Start with the certification mark on the chosen box, then check whether the assortment and its current labelling suit the recipient.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fairtrade scope | Find the mark on the exact pack. The Fairtrade Foundation says its classic mark covers all ingredients that can be Fairtrade-certified; its Sourced Ingredient Mark identifies one Fairtrade-sourced ingredient. | I want to know whether the claim applies across the eligible recipe or to a particular ingredient. |
| Gift format | Check the number and types of chocolates, as well as the presentation. Divine’s Chunky Chocolate Gift Set is a 210g box of six 35g bars; Tony’s Chocolonely UK lists several gift formats. | A mixed box would suit someone who likes variety, while a different gift format may suit a particular message or sharing occasion. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label for the exact assortment, including declared allergens and any “may contain” wording. The Food Standards Agency explains that precautionary allergen labelling signals possible unintended allergen presence. | If the recipient has an allergy, intolerance or other dietary requirement, I need to check the box I am actually giving them. |
| Sourcing detail | Separate pack-level certification from a brand’s broader cocoa programme. If physical separation during processing matters to you, read the product’s sourcing details; Ocado’s listing says sugar in Divine’s Chunky gift pack may be mixed on a mass-balance basis. | I want the sourcing information to match what matters to me, without assuming that a sustainability statement proves this box is Fairtrade-certified. |
Cadbury and Ferrero describe cocoa-sourcing programmes or standards, but those statements do not establish whether an individual gift box carries a FAIRTRADE Mark.
If Fairtrade certification is a requirement, find the mark on the exact box and check which type it is.
Ocado’s listing for Divine’s Chunky gift pack says its sugar may be mixed with non-certified sugar on a mass-balance basis. A Fairtrade ingredient claim alone therefore does not answer every question about physical separation.
If separation matters to you, read the sourcing information for the particular product and ingredient.
An assortment can contain different recipes and allergens. The Food Standards Agency says “may contain” labelling communicates possible unintended allergen presence.
Check the current ingredients, declared allergens and precautionary wording for the exact box before giving it to someone with dietary requirements.
A brand’s gift range or cocoa policy can help narrow the search, but check the certification and ingredients of the individual box.

A 180g mixed chocolate gift box for someone who enjoys an assortment. Check this exact pack’s FAIRTRADE Mark, current ingredients and allergen information, and presentation before ordering it as a Valentine’s gift.
The Fairtrade Foundation says the classic black-background mark means all ingredients that can be Fairtrade-certified are certified. The white-background Fairtrade Sourced Ingredient Mark applies to a named Fairtrade-sourced ingredient. Check which mark appears on the chocolate box you intend to buy.
Not necessarily. Ocado’s listing for Divine’s Chunky gift pack states that its sugar may be mixed with non-certified sugar on a mass-balance basis. If physical separation is important to you, check the sourcing information for the particular ingredient and product.
No pack-level certification follows from a general programme statement. Cocoa Life describes Cadbury’s cocoa sourcing, while Ferrero says it uses several cocoa-sourcing standards. Look for the FAIRTRADE Mark on the individual box if Fairtrade certification is your buying criterion.
Check the current ingredients and allergen labelling for the exact assortment, including any “may contain” statement. The Food Standards Agency explains that precautionary allergen labelling communicates possible unintended allergen presence; a general brand description cannot replace the chosen pack’s label.
