Take Action

Deforestation-based palm oil is still a big part of the U.S. ramen supply chain. If American consumers want Rainforest-Safe Ramen, then the manufacturers of instant noodles must join the zero deforestation revolution. Learn More >

Americans want Rainforest-Safe Ramen!
Target: The CEOs of Toyo Suisan, Nissin, Nongshim and Sanyo Foods

Instant noodles are cheap, delicious, and a key to ending destruction of the world’s last remaining rainforests.

As you know, your instant noodles are made with more palm oil by weight than any other product on the shelves. Too often, that palm oil is grown by cutting down tropical rainforests – destroying ecosystems, unleashing climate pollution and pushing animals like orangutans and Sumatran tigers to the brink of extinction.

You can do better. If you want Americans to buy your product, you must set a No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) commitment across your global operations. And you must demand the same from your direct suppliers, and all the way up the supply chain.

Please do everything you can to ensure Rainforest-Safe Ramen.
