This has alerted me to the fact that Pure - which I always buy - contains palm oil! I tend not to bother to read the ingredients list if a product is vegan but it just goes to show that just because a product is vegan, it doesn't mean it's ethical or environmentally friendly.

Sainsburys dairy free vegetable spread(in their free from range) is no longer available due to the manufacturer going bust!! We favour this spread because it doesn`t contain palm oil (unlike `Pure` for instance). Take a look here http://www.foe.co.uk/campaigns/biodiversity/case_studies/palm_oil/ to see how palm oil production is destroying rainforests. 

Sainsburys Customer Careline say they are trying to find another company to produce the spread, but a few more prompts from environmentally aware veggie/vegans would probably help! Call them free on 0800 636262.

Thanks,

Kevin
