Core Tip: A proposed 300% increase on French palm oil imports could lead to increased consumption of harmful trans fats and ignores the primary sources of saturated fat in the French diet, says the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC).
Dubbed the ‘Nutella tax’ because of the chocolate-hazelnut spread’s relatively high palm oil content, Senator Yves Daudigny proposed a tax of €300 per tonne of palm oil, on top of an existing €100 levy in the upper house last week. The measure would also need to be adopted by the lower house before becoming law.
