NOTE The ingredients listed here are usually palm oil
in origin, but not always. For example, vegetable oil
can sometimes be palm oil, sometimes another type
of oil. You can contact manufacturers of products to
check. But if they cannot confirm either way, there is
no guarantee that their products are palm oil-free.
