September 25/Broomfield, Col./Business Wire -- WhiteWave Foods announced that all products in its portfolio containing palm oil are now sourced according to rules set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Palm oil currently is used in a variety of liquid creamer products.
“WhiteWave is proud to source palm oil from suppliers that adhere to the RSPO principles, which ensure the rainforest and its inhabitants are protected and that workers are treated fairly and receive fair wages,” said Ron Schnur, vice president of procurement and contract manufacturing at WhiteWave Foods. “This is one step toward solving a complex issue, and we urge other manufacturers to make this commitment which will eventually enhance traceability within the supply chain.”
