Save the Orangutans – Demand Government law change on the labelling of ‘Palm oil’ in our products!

Published by Sandra Dean on Jul 30, 2009

I would like to ask the Government to put forward new legislation on the labelling of our products containing palm oil. I feel it unfair that, as a consumer, I am not allowed the right to see when this saturated fat is used in products that I buy. Manufacturers are allowed to label palm oil under the generic term ‘vegetable oil’ which takes away our ability to know what we are eating/consuming and if part of it’s production is harming our environment and Wildlife, particularly the Orangutan’s in Borneo and Sumatra. This must be changed.

Please change the law so that all Manufacturers have to list palm oil in the ingredients list on their products.
