2010 Valentines Day Orangutan-Friendly Palm Oil-Free Candy & Snack Guide

Be their Valentine!

Be Their Valentine!

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 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 please check the labels carefully before buying an item. We believe consumers should make their own decisions on what products they buy and what companies to support. For more info on orangutans and palm oil go to the CMZ website: http://www.cmzoo.org/conservation/PalmOilCrisis/ or the Orangutan Outreach palm oil crisis page.
