2013 Cookie Sale Begins
2013 Cookie Sale Info
2013 Cookie Sale Fact Sheet
Our cookie baker (Interbake Foods/ABC Bakers) began using palm oil when they eliminated trans fat from their cookies.
ABC is an official member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). They source their palm oil exclusively from members of the RSPO and they support the efforts of the RSPO to encourage sustainable farming practices.
Starting in 2012, ABC began incorporating sustainable palm oil into their production process at a level commensurate with market availability.
ABC continually evaluates other alternative oils. Should a better alternative emerge, they will transition away from palm.
