S&B Foods Inc., a major food and seasoning manufacturer in Japan, announced on August 10, 2009, the relaunch of their line of organic spices as fair trade products, and also started selling whole black pepper complete with a pepper mill.

Among their full line of organic spices, 19 are certified fair trade products, including organic cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and turmeric. The line has been marketed as being safe, reliable, and environment-friendly since September 2005. Their Whole Black Pepper-with-a mill product is the company's latest. All 20 seasonings come from Sri Lanka, and the fair trade certification mark is printed on each package along with descriptive text.

Fair trade is a scheme designed to protect the environment and the livelihoods of producers in developing countries, by promoting stable and sustainable trade. With the adoption of this new guiding principle, S&B aims to enhance more of its product lines.
