Why this verdict?
Ingredients
-
PeanutsLegume eaten as a nut; protein and healthy fats.
-
Palm OilPressed from the oil-palm fruit (not a seed), then refined, bleached and deodorized at high heat, which forms 3-MCPD and glycidyl esters — process contaminants EFSA has set limits on. A stable saturated fat with almost no omega-6, so it is not a seed oil; the objection is the refining, not the fruit.
