Especially in Sumatra and Borneo, developers are clearing rainforests to make way for more palm oil plantations. This seriously threatens native species.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>It&rsquo;s versatile<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason palm oil is in everything is because it&rsquo;s a versatile vegetable oil. It works in many ways in many different types of foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Many properties<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has a high melting point and can remain semi-solid at room temperature. This makes it work equally well in creamy products &mdash; in everything from food spreads, dressings, lotions, shampoo and frosting &mdash; as well as in products that need to be more solid &mdash; like bar soaps, lip balm, shortening, and deodorant sticks.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Shelf life<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, companies also use it to increase the shelf life of products. It works as a preservative in food and non-food items.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Crunchy or chewy<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This versatile oil can help foods keep their crunch. Used other ways, palm oil enables processed foods to be chewy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Mouthfeel<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It works very well to enhance the mouthfeel of products. This is why common palm oil products include dough, ice cream, margarine, spreads, creams, fillings, shortening, canned frosting, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Who uses it?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufacturers put palm oil in everything from soap to laundry detergent, dish soap, to processed foods including baked goods, instant noodles, granola bars, candy, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Replaced trans fats in processed foods<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palm oil works well to replace trans-fats that were once so common in foods. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned trans fats in foods in the United States, companies needed to find replacements. Because palm oil works in so many ways, companies changed recipes and started adding it to their foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Items containing palm oil ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>If you are trying to avoid products that use palm oil, start by reading labels. Don&rsquo;t buy products with any palm- ingredients. After that, learn the other names for palm oil derivatives in common, everyday items.<\/p>\n<p>Pick a product and find a palm oil free option. Sometimes all the options in a category contain palm oil. You may have to do without or make your own.<\/p>\n<p>After you find a product without it, continue to be brand-loyal as long as it remains palm oil free.<\/p>\n<p>After that, choose another product without it.
