What it is

RSPO Certified refers to palm oil or palm kernel oil that has been produced according to the standards set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). RSPO is a global non-profit organization that brings together stakeholders to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil production.

Why it's used

Palm oil and its derivatives are used in a wide variety of processed foods as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and to improve texture and shelf life. Manufacturers choose RSPO Certified palm oil to signal their commitment to more sustainable sourcing practices.

Health notes

RSPO certification addresses environmental and social sustainability, not direct health impacts of palm oil itself. The FDA considers palm oil and its derivatives to be safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have not classified palm oil as a carcinogen. Evidence on the health effects of palm oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns related to its saturated fat content.
