Palm Oil Free Products ~ List of Products Without Palm Oil

Updated: June 4th, 2019

If you seek out palm oil free products, you know how difficult it can be. Palm oil is prevalent in processed foods, cleaning products, and personal care items.

This list of palm oil free products includes categories that typically contain palm oil and derivatives. The list starts with foods, then includes palm free self-care and hygiene products, and then cleaning products.

We update this list regularly. Check back often. The more we support products made without palm oil, the better.

According to Today’s Dietitian, the FDA’s proposal to ban trans fats has created even greater demand for palm oil in foods.

In addition to the environmental concerns, many people avoid palm oil for health concerns.

With 500+ names for palm oil derivatives, it’s a challenge to find products without palm oil.

Please, do your best to support these brands and products so they will continue making them without palm oil. As always, read labels. Manufacturers continue to change their ingredients to save money.

Candy and chocolate

Yes, most candy contains it. See our list of candy without palm oil for an extensive list of choices.

Note, candy canes are not always palm oil free. Look for ones without Glycerin and Glycerol, palm oil derivatives.

Also, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have different recipes. Make a statement by reading labels and choosing the ones without palm oil.

Chicken strips without palm oil

• Foster Farms
  • Crispy Chicken Strips
  • Gluten-Free Breast Strips

Please note, their Gluten-Free Breast Nuggets contain palm oil and is clearly labeled.

A representative from Foster Farms also added: Because our formulations are subject to change, please be sure to check the ingredient statement prior to each purchase.

However, this is true all the time when you are looking for palm oil free products.

Also, many companies who make breaded products often only list “vegetable oil,” without the source. In order to support palm oil free products, you will need to know the source before buying it.

Coffee without palm oil

• Red Ape Cinnamon: Cinnamon Coffee; Ginger Coffee

These coffees are free from palm oil and obtained Palm Oil Free certification by the International Palm Oil Free Certification Programme.

We’ve included coffee on this list because theirs is certified. However, palm oil is most likely not common in regular ground coffee.

However, watch for palm oil derivatives in bottled coffees that are pre-made along with creamers, etc.

We included them on this list because we have purchased them for years, and in our area they have remained palm oil free. We appreciate their transparency and for using real ingredients in their products.

As with everything, be sure to read all labels. Learn more, and see our list of cookies without palm oil.

Dried fruit without palm oil

• Bare Snacks offers apple, banana, and coconut chips with many organic offerings.

Fruit snacks without palm oil

• KIND Fruit Bites: Cherry Apple, Mango Pineapple Apple, Strawberry Cherry Apple

Many fruit snacks contain Glycerin, Glycerine, and/or Vitamin A Palmitate, which are palm oil derivatives.

Sometimes Citric Acid can be sourced from palm oil. Therefore, if you are avoiding palm for health reasons, you need to check with the manufacturer to find out if the Citric Acid is derived from palm oil.

Graham crackers without palm oil

• Honey Maid Graham Crackers: Original, Cinnamon, Chocolate, Vanilla

More than ever, and especially in “generic,” store brands, graham crackers contain palm oil. READ LABELS!

Nabisco’s Honey Maid line was the only one we found in our grocery store without it.

However, note the Honey Maid Low Fat version contains a palm oil derivative called DATEM. The boxes look similar. (DATEM is a now-common palm oil derivative companies are using in bread.)

Remember, even “healthy packaging” –across all product lines, not just for gum — does not mean the product is palm oil free. If you see Organic Vegetable Glycerin or Vegetable Glycerin, chances are, it’s made with palm oil.

Choose ice cream with as few ingredients as possible unless you are choosing Ben & Jerry’s.

We have a post coming out soon in which we researched 18 ice cream brands and 300 cartons of ice cream. We found 20 different palm oil derivatives and ingredients in them.

To clean without palm oil use:

• Spray bottle with vinegar and water: Clean kitchen, bathrooms, windows, floors

It is increasingly difficult to find palm oil free products. The FDA has required manufacturers to eliminate trans fats from processed foods. Companies have turned to palm oil as the replacement.

Demand for palm oil continues to rise.

In addition to foods, manufacturers rely on palm oil ingredients in cleaning products. It is a challenge to find laundry detergents, spray cleaners, dish soap, and dish wash detergent without palm oil.

It’s also difficult to find palm oil free self-care items.

Palm oil is prevalent in soap, shampoo, shaving cream, lotion, deodorant, sunscreen, toothpaste, and cosmetics.

Why choose palm oil free products

There are many reasons consumers look for palm oil free options.

Many people choose to avoid palm oil for the environmental concerns.

Others avoid it for health concerns. According to EatingWell, palm oil and palm kernel oil are high in saturated fat. Learn more here.

Other consumers choose palm oil free products because they experience allergic reactions or get sick from palm oil.

If you experience reactions to it, please take a moment to report your symptoms to the FDA. They make it easy to complete online via their form. You should have as much information about the product as possible. It’s fast and will hopefully make a difference.

Have a palm oil free holiday.

Reach out to companies

Often, when we email companies, we get canned, generic answers back from them. Many reply with their “sustainable palm oil” policy without seeming to read the questions.

It’s only when we delve further that we reach someone with more authority to get accurate information.

This is why we suggest you email them but also contact them professionally on social media. You may attract more attention to your message.

We continue to contact companies to confirm their products are palm oil free. Check back often for this updated list of palm oil free products.

We will be adding more posts with palm oil free products.

Please note, this is not meant to be medical advice. Consult with your healthcare provider.

We sourced this list after looking at ingredient labels and comparing them against lists of hundreds of names for palm oil ingredients and derivatives.

We contact companies to inquire about their specific products that seem to be made without palm oil. As they write back, we continue to update and note when they confirm their products are palm oil free.

However, please do your own due diligence as well. Before you buy anything, read the labels while you are in the store. Buy the products that are palm oil free. Read labels every time. This list is meant to be a starting point and is not guaranteed. Use it as a starting point.

Also, we always are updating and adding to this list as we find palm oil free products.

Continue to be a proactive consumer. Let companies know you are paying attention. Vote with your dollars by buying the palm oil free versions.
