Anyone else noticed FairTrade logos quietly disappearing from three shopping recently?

I'm not a massive zealot when it comes to this sort of stuff, honestly these days I mostly do online shop and order similar things over and over again. But, just back from the local supermarket and I noticed when I grabbed some sugar that there was no FairTrade logo. Struck me as weird, sugar was for the longest time one of those products that almost universally was fair trade. I checked all of em, different types, different brands. None of them fair trade.

Now I know over recent years brands have got their own (presumably inferior) or signed up to other schemes. But these had nothing, not a single mark to suggest these weren't made by child slaves. Same with a few other things that I looked at. Same with veg oil, no palm oil statement.

So, with food practically doubling in price, halving in quality and size, it didn't really occur to me that they were also gouging profits by gutting the ethical standards as well.... I mean, of course they have, but I just didn't think about it till now.

I went to uni back in the early 2000s and I remember some of those societies seemed to be petitioning none stop to get fair trade on stuff. And it seemed to work too. Late 2000s everything just seemed to be fair trade, like I say, you didn't even need to look most of the time, some stuff like sugar and cocoa powder, it was just on.... and now it's gone. Seems sad all that progress lost while we're running around too distracted by the insane prices to even think about where its coming from.
