I couldn't see palm oil on the ingredients list, so I contacted the company and got this response:

"Hi Maggie,
Thank you for visiting http://www.nabiscoworld.com.
I appreciate you contacting me.
In response to consumer concerns, tropical oils, such as coconut and palm oils, have been removed from most of our products.
However a few products present more of a technical challenge.
Currently, there is no readily available substitutions that provide the taste and texture qualities that consumers desire.
If palm oil is used in our products, it will be listed on the ingredient line of the product.
If you haven�t done so already, please add our site to your favorites and visit us again soon!

So do oreos actually have palm oil? Because on the ingredients list palm oil isn't there. confused

Kraft is an iffy company, people have asked them questions about products being vegan and have been replied that it depends on the supplier since they change the enzymes used all the time - "As you can imagine our products change frequently, and maintaining a list of products that contain enzymes would be virtually impossible.". I personally try to avoid kraft in, particular Vegemite since apparently that's not vegan 6 months of the year in favor for marmite which always is happy

.

Kraft is also owned by a tobacco company and does animal testing - http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Kraft and so does nestle - http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Nestl%C3%A9

i wouldn't support the use of palm oil ever. If it is in of their products, then buying a product that doesn't have any in it, just supports the company.

I read somewhere that Oreos also contain refined sugar?

Also the fact Kraft tests on animals as-well.
