PALM OIL PRODUCT LIST
Did you know that each and everyone of us is fueling one of the world's biggest ecological disasters and acts of primate genocide in hist...ory?
It's an invisible ingredient, really, palm oil. You won't find it listed on your margarine, your bread, your biscuits or your KitKat. It's there though, under "vegetable oil". And its impact, 7,000 miles away, is very visible indeed.
Palm oil is found in absolutely everything from food and household products, to make-up and other cosmetics.

It is disgraceful that this is allowed to happen as it is our basic right as human beings to be able to make an informed decision about what products we choose to use or consume. Numerous branded and supermarket's own products contain palm oil and these are a handful of the products that do...
We have the right to know what is in the products that we use and consume!
