Palm Oil Free Pasta Noodles

We ran 366 pasta noodles through our palm oil free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 32 don't make it.

Dried pasta is flour and water and passes cleanly. Instant noodles are the exception in this aisle: the noodle block is usually fried in palm oil before packing, and the seasoning sachet may add more. Fresh filled pasta with a creamy filling can also list vegetable fat.
