Palm Oil Free Chocolate, Candy and Confectionery
Buying chocolate, candy or lollies as a gift or just want to indulge yourself? Then enjoy your chocolate fix without eating rainforest-destroying palm oil! 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 chocolate and vegan chocolate (if you happen to be vegan).
Also – cocoa is another highly controversial ingredient linked to deforestation and human rights abuses. Mighty Earth create regular guides profiling (big and small) chocolate brands so you can decide which ones to purchase and which to #Boycott4Wildlife based on cocoa and palm oil
Palm Oil Free Cooking Oil, Margarine and Spreads
Are you an avid lover of #Nutella and other spreadable butters and #margarines? Consider that many popular brands come tarnished with dirty #palmoil. Why is palm oil dirty? It has destroyed millions of hectares of rainforests all over the world. Firstly in SE Asia and increasingly now in Africa, South and Central America as well as India. Wild animals and indigenous peoples suffer the most. Here’s a helpful guide so that you can AVOID the major supermarket brands and still enjoy your hit of nut butter and chocolate spread WITHOUT Nutella.
By choosing locally produced cooking oils such as olive, sesame or peanut oil and by making your own foods instead of buying convenience foods you’re doing your health and the animals a favour. 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.
