The complexity of modern supply chains is in my opinion the strongest case for government regulations and against a lot of libertarian economic ideas.
It is impossible for the end-consumer, and even a lot of producers to know the provenance of every component in the supply chain. Even if every American consumer is against the destruction of rainforests, connecting the dots to palm oil cultivation and understanding the scale of ubiquity of palm oil in supermarket products is impossible. The only way out of this is government regulations.
