Fair Trade is regulated by third party organizations that form as their own non profit group that are the certifiers of Fair Trade goods. Those groups are responsible for watching over Fair Trade organizations, making sure that they're keeping with the principles and the mission of Fair Trade. They are also responsible for maintaining oversight of products through the producer to consumer chain. It is actually these outside third party organizations that certify products and organizations that regulate and ensure that the Fair Trade claim is legitimate.
