Coles Certified Organic Fairtrade Drinking Chocolate

Coles Certified Organic Fairtrade Drinking Chocolate is a premium beverage product offered by Coles, one of Australia's largest grocery retailers. The product is marketed under the Coles private-label brand, specifically designed to meet consumer demand for ethically sourced and organic dietary options. It carries certifications from ACO Certified Organic and Fairtrade, indicating that the cocoa used is produced according to rigorous social, environmental, and economic standards.

The manufacturing process typically takes place within Australia using a blend of local and imported ingredients. By sourcing Fairtrade cocoa, the brand supports small-scale farmers in developing nations, ensuring better prices and sustainable farming practices. As a private-label product, its history is tied directly to Coles Group Limited's expansion into the health and wellness sector.

Ownership of the brand rests with Coles Group Limited, an Australian public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Following its demerger from the Wesfarmers conglomerate in 2018, Coles has operated as an independent entity, focusing on its core retail operations. The company remains headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, overseeing a vast network of supermarkets and supply chains.
