You don't have to be perfect, and you don't have to do this alone. One better pick, made by a lot of people, can travel all the way back to a forest or a farm.
Campaigners, shoppers, buyers and rules all played a part. None of these is finished, and each one comes with its catch.
The catch: clearing for soy carried on in the neighboring Cerrado, and the traders' main group quit the pact in January 2026. The job isn't finished, so what buyers ask for still counts.
The catch: most of these plantations had little forest left by then, and the label made no difference on peatland or fires. It helps most where forest still stands.
The catch: organic yields run about 25% lower on average, or 13% with the best practices, and most of these studies come from Europe and North America.

The catch: this is Fairtrade's own figure, and Premium isn't take-home pay. Certified also doesn't mean free of child labor or deforestation.

Buying a green brand doesn't make a whole company green, and a new owner can change a product. That's why greenspecs grades each product, not the logo on the parent company.
We read the label and the public record, so you don't have to look it all up. Every check leaves you knowing a little more about what you buy.
One real label, from a real scan. Open it.
Two labels can use the same green words. Scan a product and see what's behind it.
Free, no ads, no tracking cookies. Runs on Amazon, Target, Walmart, Costco, Etsy, REI and more. See every shop.
Each one promises something specific. Once you know what, the whole shelf reads differently, and you take that with you everywhere you shop.
How it works. We read the label or listing, then add what is publicly known about the product and its maker. A brand cannot edit, hide or buy its grade.
What's missing. Most of what matters is not printed on a pack, so every grade shows its confidence. Estimates carry a ~ and gaps say "not disclosed".
The limits. The extension runs on the shops we support, not every site yet. A photo or a typed search covers the rest. For stores on our Shopify app, USDA Organic and Leaping Bunny are checked against public lists and a person checks B Corp. Other marks are read from the label, and not found is not false.
