Description

These paprika flavoured yuca chips (similar to BBQ chips) by Oxfam Fair Trade are fairly traded with small producers in Costa Rica. Available in 50g bags.

These chips are processed and packaged on-site by the Costa Rican producer cooperative, keeping even more of the value-add (and income) in the producer community! So products like this really help producers achieve financial independence.

Yuca is the most common name for this root in Latin America, and some folks also call it cassava or manioc. But no matter what you call it, it’s surprisingly similar to a potato chip when sliced thinly and fried, then seasoned. And because the Fairtrade Certification system is still trying to play catch-up with the many products in existence, we don’t have standards yet to cover products like yuca. But these paprika flavoured yuca chips were traded ethically and fairly with the producer group in Costa Rica. So you can rest assured that nobody was exploited in the making of your yummy snack!

Deliciously crunchy, light and perfectly seasoned! A satisfying snack for those who love salty snacks. Quite similar to a classic BBQ flavoured potato chip. Made with the goodness of yuca & natural flavours.

Ingredients: yuca* (69,8%) , vegetable oil* (palm oil), paprika spices (salt, sugar, pepper powder, flavour enhancer (E621), whey powder (MILK), maltodextrin, natural flavours, silicon dioxide (E551)). * ingredient from a fair trade relationship
