The problem
So what's actually wrong withpalm oil?
It's the world's most common vegetable oil — cheap, high-yield, and hiding in roughly half of all supermarket products. The catch: to plant it, producers clear and burn vast stretches of rainforest, faster than almost anywhere else on Earth.

300football fields of rainforest, cleared every hour
And the rate has tripled in the last decade.
- ~50%
- of supermarket products contain palm oil
- 85%
- of the world's supply comes from just two countries
- ×3
- rise in palm-driven deforestation in 10 years

Who pays for it
The people ofthe forest.
Orangutans are among the hardest hit. They share 97% of our DNA — in Malay, their name literally means "person of the forest" — and their home is vanishing with every acre cleared. Bornean orangutans are now endangered.
Felix is one of them: rescued in January 2025, and now safe, healthy, and getting a second chance.
And we go a step further
We help protect the forests palm oil leaves behind.
Beyond keeping palm oil out of our jars, CB's Nuts sponsors Felix's care through The Orangutan Project — helping him on his journey back to the wild.
