and holds USDA, NOP, RSPO, and the well respected Rainforest Alliance
certifications. The palm oil industry faces major objections due to its
production impact on wildlife, specifically orangutans in Borneo and
Sumatra. We are intentional about the country of origin of our palm oil
and source product from countries where the orangutan is not native.
