Is Palm Oil Vegan?
I am trying to find out if palm oil is a vegan product. It is used in most food products that we eat. If someone could please answer my question I would really appreciate it.

Yes. Palm oil is vegan. It is from palm fruits. And really good for health.
It is “technically” vegan as it contains no animal products and animals weren’t tested on to make it however, we know that a lot of palm oil is produced through destruction of habitat which affects animals with orangutans in particular adversely affected. Some vegans choose to not buy products with palm oil in it for this reason but to the definition of vegan, it is. I personally try to avoid it but i guess it is a personal decision
It is neither dairy nor milk which by definition is non vegan, thus what you mentioned above is vegan
