1. What is the significance of foods containing palm oil?

[Cattledog]

2. Palm oil production is responsible for rainforest destruction (climate change)

50% of Indonesia's Orangoutang population has been killed off as their habitat is cut down for Palm oil plantations.

5. Thanks for the info on palm oil.

Humans are wiping out everything with no regard for other species.

3. Might have something to do with

destruction of the rain forest for Palm plantations.

[IcyPeas]

4. Quite a few videos on YT regarding this. Pretty devastating to actually see the forests burning.

6. we only buy one thing on that list

and it's the vegan butter. I'll have to start exploring substitutes.............

7. i avoid palm oil.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. More highly processed the food, more likely it has palm oil. Highly processed foods less healthy. nt

9. I don't use any of that stuff

on a regular basis. I only saw five items I have used when I didn't have time to make my own... and the ginger ale. But I drink ginger beer now instead.

Good to know though, all the more reason to avoid those products.

10. Any chance there is a list of specifc products?...

...Does a bag of Lipton Tea require/use palm oil? If it does, then no more lipton for me.

Do my Quaker rolled oats include palm oil? What about the generic bulk oats I buy, is nothing palm free?

And Mr. Newman, what are you doing? 'Organic' palm oil doesn't compute.


And upon edit: Where is the link/source of this list?

Доверяй, но проверяй

11. Thanks for the Links...

From the ucsusa.org website:

How the 30 biggest companies scored

To highlight the limitations of current efforts and persuade more companies to adhere to the new industry standards, UCS analyzed the 10 largest firms in each of three different sectors—packaged food, personal care, and fast food—and scored them on the extent of their global commitments to use palm oil that is deforestation-free, peat-free, and traceably and transparently sourced.

The results for all 30 companies are detailed in our report, Donuts, Deodorant, and Deforestation: Scoring America's Top Brands on Their Palm Oil Commitments. Company rankings are shown in the tables below.

Key: DF = deforestation-free; PF = peat-free; Tc = traceability; Tp = transparency; EA = early action.

and from World Wildlife .org:
