I often buy candy as a gift. Before the holidays, candy manufacturers start selling them at discounts. I wondered why sweets became so cheap, because natural raw materials are quite expensive.

It turned out that most brands began to use vegetable oils, in particular palm oil, in their composition. Is it possible now to buy sweets without this oil in the composition? Before checking, I decided to figure out if palm oil is so harmful.

Is palm oil harmful

Chief nutritionist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation is talking, if you use palm oil in moderate doses, then there is nothing to worry about. At the same time, the World Health Organization advises limit the consumption of palm oil. But how can you find out about the amount of oil in a product if its amount is not indicated in the composition?

Manufacturers use palm oil not to harm us, but to save on raw materials. Palm oil is much more readily available than animal fats.

By hiding vegetable oil in its composition, the manufacturer sells the product at the same price as before, when it worked without substitutes. Thus, he earns more for us.

So, something carried me in the wrong direction, although the topic of palm oil is quite interesting. If you want to know more about it, let us know in the comments, I will try to write a detailed material. I go back to the store and start choosing candy.

To check the candies, I went to the METRO CC wholesale store. First of all, I decided to check out the candies of inexpensive brands.

I always had a clear association that the products of the Babaevsky factory do not contain vegetable fats. But I was wrong. I checked a couple of boxes of chocolates and both had vegetable fat in them.

But Russia did not disappoint. I assumed that their products contain vegetable oils and was not mistaken. What else can you expect with such a low cost of production.

When I looked at these candies in the store, I did not find palm oil in their composition, which was glad. But the photo of the composition was blurred, so I went to the manufacturer's website and there I found that the composition still contains vegetable fat.

In advertising, sweets from this manufacturer position themselves as luxury sweets. Although, judging by the price, they are not. It contains palm oil. It's a shame, because I liked these candies.

This is the first time I've seen sweets of this brand. And so far, this is the only box of chocolates without palm oil. Made in Spain. They are quite affordable, so you should pay attention to this brand.
