What the petition asks
Many products contain palm oil that has been obtained at considerable expense to Orangutans and other animals; the environment and ultimately the quality and sustainability of all life on earth.
We ask that the UK makes it compulsory for companies to clearly label this cruelty element in products containing palm oil. Ingredient lists should contain a distinct red "C" followed by "contains palm oil" in brackets to enable people to make informed purchasing choices.
