Is there any literature that actually states labelling items with palm oil vs vegetable oil actually makes a difference in consumer behaviour? In my small window of the world, I feel like the issue with palm oil is not well known.
- adrian_mrd 8y agoThis isn't literature, but from Melbourne Zoo's Don't Palm Us Off campaign, a campaign in favour of mandatory labelling of palm oil in Australia and New Zealand, their argument goes: "Mandatory labelling of palm oil will help put pressure on food companies to start using sustainably-produced palm oil." [0] There seems to be disagreement about what sustainable palm oil entails or how sustainable it actually is [1], so would be good to see this claim backed up with research.
