Dr. Alejandro Marangoni, food scientist at the Ontario Agricultural College, discussed how to sustainably consume palm oil, a product found in many foods including Halloween candies, with Global News.
Marangoni noted sustainability concerns about palm oil are focused on proper management, and that many alternative products viewed as sustainable, like coconut oil, could create damage if not properly managed.
Marangoni is a professor in the Department of Food Science, and holds the Canada Research Chair in Food, Health and Aging. He researches the physical properties of foods, including fats, and palm oil use.
