In social networks has recently become fashionable, when discussing controversial issues, to put it bluntly: "This is treason or victory?"Similarly, it is appropriate to ask this question and on the possible ban in Ukraine palm oil (corresponding bill has already passed the first reading). And clearly answer "victory" does not work - too many nuances do not include or unknowingly, or deliberately.

№3871 bill "On amendments to some laws of Ukraine to prohibit the use of palm oil in food products" amending the Law of Ukraine "On milk and milk products". Victory? So what, This law still allowed to adulterate milk products? Oh no, ... and not let it hurt someone falsify?

Prohibition Parliament palm oil will not prevent unscrupulous manufacturers continue to adulterate food. Because they use coconut oil instead of, or hydrogenated sunflower oil and rapeseed. This opinion was expressed by President of the Association "Ukrkondprom" Alexander Baldynyuk on his page in Facebook.

He said, that no country in the world there is no prohibition on the use in food of palm oil, more, EU countries consume more palm oil per capita, than in Ukraine. Also Baldinûk added, that the damage from consumer products, containing palm oil - a stereotype. In fact extremely harmful Trans fats - fats that, which transforms from liquid to solid during the hydrogenation. Then they add in cakes and pastries. According to the expert, producers will not be able to replace other oils palm oil, because none of the vegetable oil is produced in the world in number, necessary to replace palm oil. World production of vegetable oils is approximately 198 million tons per year. Of these, almost 70 million tons, or more 35% - this is palm oil. The same ratio - more than a third - consumption "palm" in the total consumption of vegetable fats in Ukraine. Expressed his opinion Baldinûk and for adding palm oil to butter and other dairy products. The expert stressed, which added vegetable fats in traditional dairy products forbidden today. The problem of "palm" in "molochtsi" – This problem of weak state control. In Ukraine created a powerful supervisory body - Derzhprodspozhyvsluzhba, who has the right not what penalties to impose, and even suspend the operation of these enterprises. In addition, AMC would closely examine the problem of counterfeit food products as a violation of the competitive environment, concluded the President of the Association "Ukrkondprom".
