WTF Sainsbury's?

[SapphireSeptember]

I've mentioned this before, but I try to avoid palm oil as much as I can. Sainsbo's have some of their Christmas food out already in the bakery section, including TTD mince pies. Which I bought last year and really enjoyed (no palm oil last year.) You can see where this is heading, right? So I checked the ingredients and palm oil is back (vegetable suet being the offender.) Why? Why did they have to put it back in when they were fine without it?
And surely now, especially when we know the damage palm oil production does to the environment companies would be cutting down on its use?
I'd complain, but I doubt they'd take any notice.
Also if Tesco do this to me as well I'm going to be royally hacked off.
It was only earlier this year I found palm oil free hot cross buns!
(Yes I know I could make things like this myself, but I can't be bothered, plus there's only one of me. It's cheaper to buy some than make some.)

You don’t realise how claggy palm oil is in the mouth till you don’t eat it anymore.

It’s grim.

Exactly, I can tell if something's got palm oil in it now. I also know a few people who are allergic to it (one is a friend of mine who now lives in Costa Rica where they've been using it forever, as well as other bits of the palm and it makes her really ill.)

RE the vegetable suet, it has the ingredients of the suet in brackets on the ingredients list. Last year they didn't have any suet whatsoever. Definitely not a vegan thing. (Sainsbo's also use veg suet in the dumplings they have in their beef and chicken stew ready meals. Kinda pointless there!) They also sell vegan mince pies. One day I'm just going to give up and make a massive batch of 'proper' mince pies with beef suet and meat and other yummy things.
