'First' Fairtrade spices for the UK

01-Aug-2011

Bart Spices says it is the first major herbs and spices supplier to bring Fairtrade-certified herbs to the UK consumer. Tesco began stocking the Bristol firm's new Fairtrade range last month.

The first four herbs launched were basil, marjoram, thyme and mint all in recyclable tubs. An additional five parsley, sage, fennel seed, mace and rosemary will follow in November.

David Collard, Bart Spices ceo said: "This marks another first for Bart Spices, as well as the herbs and spices category.

"This has only been possible because of our close working relationships with our growers and suppliers, both of which are paramount to our work ethic. Equally, it is very rewarding to be able to give something back to these communities."
