Palm oil
Score
30
High in saturated fat and the single biggest driver of tropical deforestation in food supply chains.
Palm oil is roughly half saturated fat, and uncertified production remains a leading cause of rainforest and peatland clearance in Southeast Asia. RSPO-certified segregated palm scores better than the generic ingredient; most labels do not say which they used.
