Flora contents used to include
palm oil. The global demand for palm oil is blamed for the loss of tropical hardwood forests which are being cleared for palm oil plantations. This clearance leads to the destruction of
orangutan habitat in places such as
Borneo and
Sumatra. Flora has stated on its website that they are concerned about the environmental consequence of its use of palm oil and has vowed to continue procuring all its palm oil from certified sustainable sources. In October 2023, the recipe in the UK and all of Europe was changed for the entire range to omit palm oil and dairy and the packaging will be packaged in the same style as the company’s Flora Plant B+tter product. ==Sponsorships==
