using only certified sustainable palm oil. </p> <p>We use palm oil in our products for several reasons relating to product taste, texture and shelf life. It is also worth noting that palm oil is the highest yielding vegetable oil crop, which means it is very efficient, requiring significantly less land than other crops to produce the same amount of oil. </p> <p>Pams are a member of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). RSPO are a not for profit organisation who ensure that certified palm oil is produced against a set of environmental and social criteria. </p> <p>We require all our Pams food suppliers to provide evidence that where palm oil is used as an ingredient it is RSPO certified.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="item"> <div class="toggle-header"> <div class="label"> <div class="component content col-xs-12"> <div class="component-content"> <div class="field-heading">What are Pams plans regarding plastic packaging?</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="toggle-content"> <div class="component content col-xs-12"> <div class="component-content"> <div class="field-content"><p>Foodstuffs was one of the first retailers in New Zealand to sign up to the New Zealand Plastic Packaging Declaration in June 2018, and Pams are dedicated to working towards 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging by 2025. This commitment is extended to all packaging types e.g. plastic, fibre, glass, metal. </p> <p>We are constantly working with our Pams suppliers to look at better ways of packaging goods - all while ensuring the integrity and safety of our products. </p> <p>Some plastics are easier to recycle than others. When we need to use plastic, we’ll choose more recyclable options, like Rigid PET that also contains some recycled material.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="item"> <div class="toggle-header"> <div class="label"> <div class="component content col-xs-12"> <div class="component-content"> <div class="field-heading">Why does Pams source products from overseas?</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="toggle-content"> <div class="component content col-xs-12"> <div class="component-content"> <div class="field-content"><p>As Kiwis ourselves, we strive to use New Zealand manufacturers for our products as much as possible - but sometimes we do have to source products and ingredients from overseas so that we can continue to offer our customers products they love and trust at a reasonable price.</p> <p>This can be due to a number of reasons: supply, demand, and cost of the product are just a few of the factors that Pams must consider when keeping prices affordable for our customers. </p> <p>Sometimes we also need to look offshore for innovation where NZ manufacturers do not have the capability. We do however find that, once new products become popular, local producers often do make the capital investment and develop these capabilities - so we’re always reviewing our supply base and will always make the change to support local businesses when this becomes possible. Products imported from overseas must meet the requirements set by the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).

All of Pams Canned Tuna/Salmon/Sardines Frozen White-fleshed fish are Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified. MSC is a science-based, independently-audited certification that demonstrates the fish is sourced from a fishery where fish stock is healthy, environmental impacts are minimised and effective fisheries management is evident.</p> <p>Tuna, Salmon, Sardines and White-fleshed fish are sometimes caught using pole and line, and at other times using different methods such as purse seine. To achieve MSC certification, fisheries are audited each year to demonstrate that the fishing method used actively avoids and minimises impact on other species and the marine habitat. Destructive fishing methods (such as the use of explosives) are not allowed.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="item"> <div class="toggle-header"> <div class="label"> <div
