Palm oil is widely used by the giants of the food industry and is found in many everyday consumer products, and for good reason: this oil is extremely cheap. The problem is that palm oil represents an environmental disaster, massive deforestation being necessary to produce it in large quantities, without forgetting that it is also very bad for health. Indeed, it contains more saturated fatty acids than other oils, such as rapeseed or sunflower oil, and too much consumption can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
This is why Casino is committed to removing palm oil from its own brand products by the end of the year. Rest assured, this decision will not increase the price of the products. Casino is thus the first French distributor to take a decision of this magnitude.
