Palm Oil Free Coffee & Tea

We ran 459 coffee & tea through our palm oil free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 7 don't make it.

Coffee beans and tea leaves contain no added oil. The fails in this aisle are instant cappuccino and latte sachets, creamers and hot chocolate mixes, where a "vegetable fat" powder replaces milk. Plain instant coffee and any unflavoured tea pass without a second look.
