If your shopping list includes packaged products like: bread, biscuits, chocolate, chips, sandwich spreads, ice cream, shower cream and shampoo, then its likely you are buying palm oil. In fact Palm oil and its derivatives are present in 50% of all packaged foods on our shelves.
What is the problem with Palm Oil?
Palm oil only grows in the tropics, where, if cultivated in an unsustainable way can have negative impacts on people and the environment. These include indiscriminate forest clearing, habitat loss of threatened and endangered species, poor air quality from burning forests and peatlands, and disregard for the rights and interests of local communities.
