According to the pictures, there will be two new flavour hitting the shelves next month. Fans of the brands can look forward to the following selection:
- Ben & Jerry’s Chocolatey Love A-Fair ice cream featuring chocolate ice cream packed with salted cara-melt-in-your-mouth swirls, and plenty of chocolatey and caramel chunks – chilling in a freezer near you from early September. It takes its inspiration from Tony’s popular milk caramel sea salt bar. Like all Ben & Jerry’s tasty tubs, it’s Fairtrade certified. And it’s available in a non-dairy variety too!
- Tony’s Chocolate Love A-Fair, two sweet new Tony’s bars – dark milk chocolate brownie and white chocolate strawberry cheesecake – inspired by two classic Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavours. Hitting shelves near you early 2023.
According to Fairtrade.org: "The cocoa beans from these brand-new chocolatey treats are sourced through Tony’s Open Chain which helps companies take steps to end modern slavery and child labour in the chocolate industry. Ben & Jerry’s will also begin converting its ice cream portfolio to Tony’s Open Chain, prioritising the cocoa in the ice cream base mix. By adopting Tony’s 5 Sourcing Principles, companies take responsibility for ensuring a fully traceable cocoa supply chain and paying a higher price to address poverty, the root cause of social injustice for cocoa farmers."
Talking about the creation, Cheryl Pinto, Ben & Jerry’s Global Head of Values-led Sourcing said: “We began this journey seven years ago, when we first partnered with Fairtrade co-ops in Côte d’Ivoire, and this is the exciting next step in our cocoa journey as we amplify our commitment to farmers, equity, and ethical sourcing.
“Tony’s Open Chain enables us to combine traceability with sourcing principles that naturally align to Ben & Jerry’s mission and supports cocoa farmers to meet high standards on social and environmental practices while strengthening their co-operative.
“Embracing the 5 Sourcing Principles of Tony’s Open Chain means unlocking the key elements to driving strong trading relationships and thriving cocoa communities. We are serious about chocolatey ice cream, and we are eager to join forces with Tony’s Open Chain as a Mission Ally, on a delicious journey towards a more ethical future for cocoa production that all chocolate lovers deserve!”
Joke Aerts, Inspire to Actress (Tony’s Open Chain Lead) for Tony’s Chocolonely, added: “We are thrilled that Ben & Jerry’s joins us as a Mission Ally in Tony’s Open Chain. Not only will this partnership see large volumes of cocoa beans sourced via Tony’s Open Chain but collaborating with one of the world’s most-loved social justice companies truly puts our initiative on the map internationally and proves that our way of working is a solution for all players in the cocoa industry.
"I am confident that, together, we can make big strides towards eradicating modern slavery and child labour, stopping deforestation, and improving the livelihoods of West African cocoa farmers.”
Sharing the news to Food Finds UK - a Facebook dedicated to all things food and drink - one said: "I can't wait."
Another added: "I need this."
"Get it now" demanded a third.
