Did you know there is over 100 different alternative names for Palm Oil?

Below are some examples of how palm oil may be referred to on packaging.

This doesn't mean that all these ingredients are definitely palm oil, (for instance E471 may be palm oil, coconut oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil or canola oil), but they could be.

The list is from the Orangutan Alliance. The Orangutan

Alliance is an independent industry-based, non-profit organisation and registered charity promoting the reduction of non-sustainable palm oil in consumer products. Orangutan Alliance – Orangutan Alliance
