Before the new year, I bought many boxes of chocolates as a gift. Each time I checked the composition and was surprised that there are almost no sweets without the addition of palm oil.
The benefits and dangers of palm oil It's hard for me to judge on my own, since I'm still not an expert in this. In this matter, I trust the opinion of the World Health Organization. Their research showthat it is better to abstain from palm oil or limit its consumption.
Ministry of Health of Russia also thinksthat palm oil can only be consumed in limited quantities. Although the number itself does not name.
It turns out that small doses of palm oil are not harmful, but lately I have seen palm oil in most of the products in the daily basket. It turns out that here a little, there a little - and as a result, a critical mass is gained.
Therefore, we should be careful about the foods that we eat. Since I am a pastry chef and love candies, I decided to study the candy market and find out if there are candies without palm oil.
In the last article, I checked out inexpensive candies.In this article I will tell you about the dear ones.MAGNIFIQUE
This is the first time I've seen such sweets. They are made in Poland. The box is beautiful and beckons to buy. If I had bought without studying the composition, I probably would have done so. But after studying the composition, I understand that there is quite a lot of palm oil here.

Sweets from Denmark. The image on the box looks appetizing. At first I liked the composition, but when I sat down to sort out the photographs and looked closely, I realized that I was happy in vain. And these candies contain palm oil.

When I saw the price tag for these sweets in the window, I immediately thought, well, this is where the manufacturer should not save. I turn the box over and begin to scrutinize the composition. In the first line I bury myself in palm oil.
I check all foreign brands, since in Russia almost all companies use palm oil. For the sake of experiment, I decided to check something Russian.

I look at the composition and see that the manufacturer decided not to decipher what kind of vegetable oils he added. But we are also not bastard and know foreign languages. I read the composition in English and it says “in black on white” - contains palm and shea butter.

This box of Italian chocolates was the last I came across when I was desperate to find chocolates without palm oil. I double-checked the composition several times, first in Russian, then in other languages - indeed, these candies are without palm oil.
Almost all the candies I have tested contain palm oil. But I am glad that there are still companies that are not ready to save on raw materials and make candies with a good composition.
