What products contain Palm Oil and how can I avoid it?

Obviously, read the ingredients, but usually you will find palm oil in cheap foodstuffs that need to sit around at room temperature for long periods.





This would include MANY candy bars, some snack food cakes, things that must remain soft, and appealing in a machine.





Also, beware of popcorn. Often it is not only popped in palm oil, but the butter-flavored grease that is gushed onto it has a palm base... Why?





Palm oil is a lovely, stable, long-lasting shortening with a wonderful mouth feel and the ability to take on flavors like a champ!





Sadly, it's heart-clogging glop that has no health value whatsoever.





Best wishes!What products contain Palm Oil and how can I avoid it?
It would be easier to list products that do not have palm oil in them than ones that do.What products contain Palm Oil and how can I avoid it?
many good quality soaps contain it.
As above, but I've heard this week it finds it way into bio-diesel, which is mixed with mineral diesel for sale at supermarkets. Though you wouldn't know, whether it contained palm oil or not.
As suggested check the ingredients its also worth knowing alternative names for palm oil. I try to avoid peanut oil and this is known as arachis too. I usally ask when buying cosmetics but if you are in the uk most items now must have all the ingredients listed.
