Ask Snapple to Buy The Best Stuff on Earth: Fair Trade Tea

The Issue

Snapple tea claims to be "made from the best stuff on earth." But the tea used to brew Snapple may be harvested and processed by human trafficking victims, children, and exploited labor. That's because Snapple has few protections in place to prevent their suppliers from using slave labor. Plus, they don't buy Fair Trade tea, which can drastically reduce human trafficking in the tea industry.

If Snapple were to make 10% of their tea purchases Fair Trade tea, they would make a huge difference in the lives of tea farmers and tea plantation workers around the world. Fair Trade tea means a living wage for those who produce it and can protect against exploitation and human trafficking.

Tell Snapple that if they really want to make their product from "the best stuff on earth", they'll make it from Fair Trade tea.
