Gravy granules without palm oil as an ingredient. Impossible to buy? 14 May 2019 at 8:15PM in Gone off! 8 replies 5.5K views

I currently enjoy the chicken granules from Bisto (in the orange tub) but looked at the ingredients and saw palm oil was an ingredient. Having learned about the damage that palm oil production can cause to habitat for rare species, I would like to choose other gravy granules without palm oil as an ingredient. However, are there any products like this available? If there are, they are difficult to find in the supermarkets.

This is the only one I know of, and it is junky and not at all cheap, unfortunately.

The bisto best, veg granules are free from palm oil:D

Everything nowadays seem to have palm oil as part of the ingredient.
What is extremely said is that man is destroying beautiful forests to plant palm trees.
Sooner or later nature will hit back and humans are not going to like it.

I always make my own gravy from scratch. Tastes a lot better than any Bisto muck.

I also agree to @unforeseen.
Making your gravy from scratch will be way healthier cause you know what you are putting in there than buying a granule one. It's not that hard to make one especially nowadays that you can search through internet how to do it.

As opposed to every other type of oil production that is grown on land that didn't need to be cleared at some point in the past?

As for the op, gravy granules are only basically stock and thickeners, just as quick and easy to make your own, and it'll taste better

The bisto original powder doesn't contain palm oil

I have been looking for this - A vegetarian option too. Literally everything seems to have palm oil in it and I also read about the various different ways that it's named (which seems extra sly).
