Enjoy Life Foods is setting itself apart as the first food company in the United States to receive Palm Oil Free Certification from the International Palm Oil Free Certification Accreditation Programme.
The first products from Enjoy Life Foods to get this certification are the brand's all-new Grain & Seed Bars, though the plant-based Protein Bites will follow in the coming months.
Although palm oil is one of the most commonly used ingredients in American food products, many consumers are unaware of the harm the demand it has on both ecosystems and animals, particularly the orangutan. As Joel Warady, General Manager and Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Enjoy Life Foods describes: "While several global food brands have made commitments to source sustainable palm oils—ourselves included—we believe that we can take our quest for sustainability to the next level."
