Is Equal Exchange organic?

We list 2 Equal Exchange products. Between them they carry USDA Organic, each confirmed on the brand's own page or the certifier's records. A seal belongs to a product, not a brand, so check the one you buy.

We have not tested these products. Each one was checked against the brand’s own page and the certifier’s records. Product links may be affiliate links: if you buy through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. How we choose.

The Equal Exchange products we list

  1. Listed on Organic Coffee

    1Equal ExchangeCertifier named on the page

    Organic Breakfast Blend Coffee

    A blend sold by Equal Exchange, whose coffee collection is titled fair trade and organic. The product page states the coffee is certified organic by Oregon Tilth and that it is certified kosher pareve. Naming the certifier on the page makes the claim easy to look up.

    Good to know: The page does not name a fair trade certification program for this coffee, so none is listed here.

Questions people ask

Is everything Equal Exchange sells certified organic?

Not necessarily, and we do not claim it. Certification applies to individual products. We checked 2 Equal Exchange products for this site, and 2 of them carry at least one of the certifications listed here. For anything else the brand sells, look for the seal and the certifier's name on that product's label.

How can I check a Equal Exchange certification myself?

Each product below lists the pages we checked it against. For USDA Organic, search the USDA Organic Integrity Database for the company name. For GOTS, the GOTS public database lists licensed companies. Other seals are explained, with their lookup tools, on our labels pages.
