Open Ban palm oil in all food that is sold and manufactured in the UK

Created by Philip Adam Williams
Closes on

We call on the government to introduce legislation to ban palm oil as an ingredient in all foods manufactured or sold in the UK. This should include a phased transition period for businesses to reformulate products using more sustainable and locally sourced or low impact alternative oils.

Palm oil is high in saturated fat, and when consumed in large quantities can make the nation even more unhealthy. This affects poorer households disproportionately as they can't usually afford healthier options putting more strain on an already broken NHS.
