Trick or Treat?

This list has been compiled by the dedicated team at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (CMZ), and is meant to be a helpful guide for consumers who are concerned about orangutan conservation and deforestation due to non-sustainable palm oil production in Indonesia and Malaysia. The certification process for sustainable palm oil is still in the early stages of implementation, so many people are choosing to buy products that do not contain palm oil. It is not possible to guarantee the complete accuracy of this list, so consumers should still check labels before buying an item. If an item is marked CHECK CLOSELY, be especially careful! It might contain palm oil– depending on where it was produced! If in doubt, buy something else! The orangutans will be grateful! Consumers should always make their own decisions on what products they purchase and what companies to support.
