Palm Oil Free Biscuits, Cakes and Cookies

Palm oil free biscuits and cookies

Are you wanting some sweet snacks, cookies or biscuits for your next gaming session? Then enjoy your time without eating rainforest-destroying palm oil! Seek out palm oil free biscuits and cookies and other snack foods. If you are ever in doubt look for the prefixes: LAUR, STEAR, GYLC and PALM in the ingredients list on packaging – this is most likely palm oil. Another tip is to shop for locally produced biscuits and cookies that are made with healthier alternatives like olive oil. Or even better – you can make your own and they will be much healthier and palm oil free.

Did you know that palm oil is one of the world’s most destructive crops, as it can only be harvested in tropical rainforest and peatland landscapes where the highest concentration of endangered species live? The majority of palm oil and soy is fed to farm animals that people eat. This is why palm oil is an animal rights issue. And it is for these reasons that palm oil is NOT considered vegan by animal activists. It may be a plant-based substance, but it is NOT VEGAN. Mass-produced biscuits and cookies by brands like Hersheys, Mondelez, Nestle and Danone like to claim that their biscuits are plant-based AKA vegan. However, if they are still using palm oil, they are simply greenwashing extinction and ecocide!
