1. Crisps – You’d expect crisps to contain some kind of oil and, sadly, this is often palm oil. However, the ingredients list often disguises this as ‘vegetable oil’ a seemingly less destructive name – but don’t be fooled. Eat Real (eatreal.co.uk) have a great range of savoury snacks that does not contain any.
2. Instant noodles – The convenient selling point of this cupboard staple is also its downfall as palm oil makes up to 20 per cent of a pack of instant noodles’ weight. The notorious ingredient is used to pre-cook the noodles meaning that all you need do is add water.
