Palm oil is quietly replacing dairy fat in chocolate, biscuits, and processed dairy products across the UK — while British milk production sits at a surplus and farmers are pouring milk away. I'm a mixed farmer (wheat and livestock) who doesn't supply supermarkets, so I've got no stake in this fight — I just think you should know what's actually happening before you buy.In this video: why manufacturers are making the swap, what UK/EU labeling law actually requires, the Tunnock's "chocolate biscuit" ruling, and the real land-and-climate math between a grass-fed dairy cow and an imported monocrop.Sources referenced in this video:
