How to detect palm oil in a product ( a SHORT CUT)
Early in 2013 I created a shortcut to the ever growing list of alternate names for palm oil which I created in 2009 / 2010 to try to make it a little easier for lay people to research a product.
If an ingredient has the combination of following letters within one of the words of an ingredient then there is a possibility that it is derived from palm oil...or at best need further investigation...
