Palm Oil Free Candy

Explore our selection of palm oil free candy or sustainably sourced candy options. Palm oil is edible vegetable oil, which is derived from the "mesocarp" of the fruit of oil palms. It is grown only in the tropics and used mostly as a cooking oil. Scholars say it is the most efficient source of vegetable oil. The name itself may not sound too familiar. But it is the most widely consumed vegetable oil on earth! It is in everything from eyeliner to frosted bagels and can be found in a majority of the packaged goods on shelves at any supermarket. The major downside of it is, it is one of the leading causes of deforestation today! Millions of square feet are being cleared every hour in rain forests around the world to make space for plantations and making the industry linked to issues such as habitat degradation, animal extinction, and climate change in the countries it is produced. Many organizations are opposed to eating candy with palm oil in it. It can be hard to avoid this ingredient, but for those who want to contribute to a good cause and help counter rain deforestation, there are alternative options for all standard products a consumer would need in day to day life. Candy Warehouse provides products made by Nestle, Kellogg’s, Hershey’s, Mars, and Kraft Foods, which are good choices as all produce candy without palm oil or source it sustainably!
