Ombar (fair trade organic vegan chocolate)

Ombar is a brand of vegan chocolate, that is also organic and Fair Trade. It uses unroasted cacao to keep more antioxidants for mood and heart health. Sweetened with coconut sugar, and free from palm oil.

Avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. Keep chocolate away from pets (due to cocoa, dried fruits, nuts, nutmeg and xylitol – use letterbox guards for home delivery). Read more on food safety for people and pets.

Choose Fair Trade chocolate (cocoa is grown by some of the poorest farmers on earth). Although plastic chocolate wrappers are a litter hazard, some ‘compostable packaging’ is from flammable eucalyptus plantations (causes wildfires), so choose brands in paper or cardboard, if possible.
