On the back of the withdrawn advert regarding orang utans and the devastation over-all of habitation, I wonder how many products contain palm oil of any type?

[Gangan]

We are rethinking our quick home 'fish and chip' night since reading palm oil on the back of Youn*s frozen battered cod fillets box.

Palm oil is in nearly everything.

Everything!

[CLKD]

Shampoo apparently

[jillydoll]

Also,
Margarine, chocolate, bakery products, it's in ice cream,
In Gangans fish,
Soap, make up, candles, ..........

[CLKD]

Most of which we can't boycott immediately. 

[jillydoll]

No!
Me needs me chocolate! 

Only joking.....I think my waist line would appreciate it if I left
it alone for a while.......lol

There is a difference between 'dirty' palm oil and 'sustainable' palm oil. There's a list somewhere showing which companies are achieving what. The problem seems to be that alternatives are also not kind to the environment. So difficult.

Oh Jillydoll,go on,just have one 🍫😁

[jillydoll]

I have! I've had 3... lol.
Now, where's that cake?   

Taz, I think Iceland is giving up on palm oil.
Is dirty oil the oil they get from a source where they don't care where it's come from?
And sustainable oil is sourced from a place where they ‘farm' it.....?

[Taz2]

I think so. There's a woman in our local pub who's been boycotting anything that uses palm oil for years now so I've heard a bit about it. Her husband, though, yearns for a 'proper' bar of soap, shower gel etc etc. Will try to find out more re dirty and sustainable palm oil.

   Taz.  If I had the energy  I would be on a Campaign

Palm oil petition attracts attention of Kellogg's - sisters have started a campaign

I'm not sure if this has been posted already but it can help us make a choice between companies https://www.actforwildlife.org.uk/get-involved/take-conservation-action/take-the-sustainable-palm-oil-challenge/shopping-list/

Tnx so much.  I wonder whether 'palm oil' is called something else, i.e. SLS ......... because I can't find evidence on anhythig recently purchased, i.e. bubble bath.
