GFA Evaluation
Organic chocolate cake baking mix made with organic wheat flour, organic and fair-trade (when possible) cocoa powder, and organic and fair-trade vanilla extract. Ingredients individually disclosed by sourcing category on the product page.
Certified organic by MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association), an independent state-level organic certifying body distinct from a brand's own claim. Sourced New England flour, unbleached and unenriched.
Small Scarborough, Maine business. Fair-trade sourcing stated for cocoa and vanilla "when possible" -- an honest qualifier rather than a blanket, unverifiable claim.
MOFGA certification is independently administered and is one of the oldest organic certifiers in the US, predating USDA Organic. The "when possible" qualifier on fair-trade sourcing is a more accurate, less inflated claim than brands that state fair-trade sourcing without such caveats -- it should be read as partial, not full, fair-trade sourcing across all ingredients.
