Now, what do palm oil-based products cover? Well, we are glad you asked.
Once we stop and take a look, palm oil is everywhere in our lives, from:
- Edible products: Cooking oil, chocolate, cookies, instant noodles, ice cream, packaged bread, margarine, etc.
- Non-food products – Detergents, Lipstick, soap, shampoo, etc.
In recent years, palm oil is increasingly being used as feedstock for biofuel. With that said, its primary use remains for food.
