Ingredient
Palm oil
Low concern
Not a red flag on its own. Pay attention if it shows up often.
What it is
A tropical fat, solid at room temperature.
Why it’s used
Cheap, stable, makes biscuits short and spreads creamy.
What to know
High in saturated fat. The other cost is landscape. A daily chocolate spread is both stories at once.
Who should skip
Anyone avoiding saturated fat or deforestation-linked fats.
A gentler swap
Olive oil, sunflower, or a nut-only butter.
You’ll see it in
Biscuits, instant noodles, chocolate spread.
