Palm Oil
The grade 6 students have been investigating palm oil
and the impacts illegally farmed palm oil can have on
rainforests, the surrounding environments and the
animals that live there (including endangered tigers,
orang-utans, elephants and pangolins to name just a
few). Palm oil may be present in more than half the
products on supermarket shelves, and not all palm oil is
from sources that are responsible for deforestation but it
can be difficult to tell.
Here are a couple of apps that you can use to check if
the product you are buying contains palm oil (and
whether the palm oil is responsibly produced). These are
available from the App Store or Google Play.
Palm oil also is disguised as more than 200 different ingredient names (the most common being
‘vegetable oil’. Check out this list to further help you when you are shopping:
http://www.palmoilinvestigations.org/Fold%20up%20ingredients%20list-1.pdf
Here are some popular products we discovered contained palm oil:
Oreos KFC Pringles KitKat Nutella
Twisties Milo Skittles LCM’s Yoplait
Arnott’s Shapes Milky Way Maltesers Ice Magic McDonald’s
Maggie instant noodles Tim Tams Pop Tarts Nesquik
Lindt choc. Doritos Warheads M&M’s Starburst
Froot Loops Most margarines Ferrero Rocher Streets Ice Creams
It is also contained in many lipsticks, shampoos, ice creams, chips/crisps, instant noodles, breads,
frozen pizzas and soaps.
