Today’s grocery shoppers are looking for products made with natural ingredients. And they want product labels to clearly identify those ingredients. This led to the U.S. government passing a law requiring the labeling of food products containing genetically modified ingredients. Some food manufacturers are reacting to this law by swapping corn, soybean or canola oil for Malaysian certified sustainable palm oil. Palm oil delivers just what consumers desire: a natural, nutritious and 100 percent non-GMO edible oil.

Here’s what you need to know about this wholesome oil:

Palm oil comes from a fruit. Palm oil comes from the fruit of the GMO-free oil palm tree, Elaeis guineensis. Squeezing this fruit releases a pure, red oil brimming with vitamin E tocotrien

ols and antioxidant-rich carotenoids. Palm oil is also naturally trans fat-free.

All Malaysian palm oil is non-GMO. This majestic oil palm tree grows year-round 

in the tropics where it produces bountiful quantities of oil-rich fruit. Many trees produce fruit for more tha

n 25 years.

Palm oil has been used worldwide for generations. Palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil in the world.
