Petition ‘Palm oil’ to be clearly labelled on products containing it, to help consumers.

There are many names for palm oil that consumers won’t recognise. It is not as clear as looking at the ingredients list on a product and searching for palm oil. Some ingredients may be from palm oil but it will not be labelled, e.g. ‘vegetable oil’ in a product may or may not be from palm oil.
