How to Read Labels to Avoid Palm Oil

The food industry is incredibly deceptive. Because consumer awareness regarding the dangers of palm oil has skyrocketed, manufacturers have started using highly confusing legal loopholes to hide it on their ingredient labels.

You will rarely see the words 'Palm Oil' clearly printed. Instead, manufacturers hide it under the generic, legally permissible term 'Edible Vegetable Oil'. If a brand does not explicitly name the exact oil they are using, you can be absolutely certain it is palm oil. They are hiding it because they know you wouldn't buy it otherwise.

Other hidden names include Palmitate, Palmitic Acid, or Sodium Laureth Sulfate. To navigate this minefield, you must strictly purchase products that practice absolute transparency. A genuinely clean brand will proudly state their ingredients. When a snack is prepared in pure desi ghee, the brand will loudly advertise it, because it represents an uncompromising commitment to quality.
