We Partner With Palm Done Right

Palm Done Right is a certification and partnership program for sustainable palm oil. It focuses on environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic viability for smallholder farmers. The palm oil used in products certified by Palm Done Right is grown using practices that aim to minimize deforestation and protect biodiversity.

Palm oil is a versatile fat used in many food products. It can act as a shortening, giving baked goods a tender texture, and helps to create smooth textures in products like chocolate and ice cream. It is commonly found in cookies, crackers, baked goods, and processed snacks.

Palm oil is a source of saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for palm oil itself, but it is recognized as a source of dietary fat. Some research suggests palm oil may have different effects on blood cholesterol compared to other saturated fats, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed.
