Make all packaging and advertising show clearly if a product contains palm oil.
We call on the government to introduce a requirement that all manufacturers state clearly on all labeling and advertising whether their product contains palm oil, RSPO-certified palm oil, or no palm oil, at all stages of production, in order to allow quick identification by consumers.
Palm oil production is "disastrous" for our planet's ecosystem, and some species are perilously close to being lost forever. Consumers should be able to boycott this product easily, facilitated by a clear graphic on all packaging and advertising on any product which could be made with palm oil, for example food, cosmetics, and cleaning chemicals. We want a "traffic light" mark system showing if a product contains palm oil, and whether it is RSPO-certified or Green Palm labeled.
