Palm Oil Free Sodas

We ran 378 sodas through our palm oil free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 3 don't make it.

Soft drinks contain no fat, so almost everything in this aisle passes on its face. The rare exceptions are creamy or milk-based drinks and some powdered mixes where a vegetable fat is added for body. If a drink lists "vegetable oil" without naming it, that is worth a second look.
