In our Bakery and Cafés, we do not use palm oil as a single ingredient in our products. However, it is present in some of the pre-made 'composite ingredients' we buy, which consist of multiple ingredients. This includes the suet in our mincemeat and in some of our sugar pastes. In such instances, we request that our suppliers source the palm oil sustainably.
It is the responsibility of our suppliers to ensure that the manufacturers of our ingredients containing palm oil are certified by the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). The RSPO is a non-profit organization that strives to minimise the negative impact of palm oil production on the local environment, wildlife, and communities.
