I find it hard to impossible to avoid palmoil in food. I eat vegetarian/vegan, which makes it even more difficult. To just mention the most frustrating/difficult to avoid one: to find margarine that doesn't use palmoil seems near impossible.
And it's in everything 'ready' - cookies, bread, chocolate, curry sauce, any ready meal, any fastfood you buy, ...
Alternative oils such as sunflower or rapeseed oils should be able to (and used to!) cover most of these use cases, but sadly our food industry seems to choose palmoil despite the ecological damage (rainforest destruction, monocultures, erosion, ...) and the widely reported slavery and social harm. Some companies (such as Ferrero) slap 'certificates' of non-harm on the package, which have little evidence behind them and, if anything, will still mean that the demand for palm oil keeps increasing.
Really disappointing. Hope companies become more conscious rather than just cost-conscious.
