Internationally recognized Spanish experts in the food industry, nutrition, toxicology, sustainability, and veterinary science met in Madrid on July 2018 to develop a consensus about palm oil (PO) as a food ingredient. Their aim was to provide a useful, evidence-based point of reference about PO. Scientific evidence about the role of PO in food safety, nutrition and sustainability was analyzed. Main conclusions were: (1) RSPO foundation responded to the environmental impact of palm crops. The Amsterdam Declaration pursues the use of 100% sustainable PO in Europe by 2020. Awareness about choosing sustainable products will help to maintain local economies and environments in the producing countries; (2) evidence shows that a moderate intake of PO within a healthy diet presents no risks for health. No evidence justifies any change fat intake recommendations; (3) food industry is interested in assuring safe, sustainable and high-quality products. The use of certified sustainable PO is increasing; and (4) there is no evidence associating PO consumption and higher cancer risk, incidence or mortality in humans. Tolerable daily intake (TDI) for toxic contaminants (2-and 3-monochloropropanediols (MCPDs), glycidyl esters (GEs)) have been established by JECFA and EFSA. Consequently, the European Commission has modified the Contaminants Regulation for GEs and it is still working on 3-MCPDs'.
2018 年 7 月，国际上食品行业、营养、毒理、可持续性和兽医科学领域的西班牙专家在马德里聚会，就棕榈油（PO）作为食品成分达成共识。他们的目的是提供一个有用的、基于证据的 PO 参考点。分析了关于 PO 在食品安全、营养和可持续性方面的科学证据。主要结论如下：（1）RSPO 基金会回应了棕榈作物对环境的影响。《阿姆斯特丹宣言》旨在到 2020 年在欧洲使用 100%可持续 PO。提高对可持续产品的认识将有助于维持生产国的当地经济和环境；（2）证据表明，在健康饮食中适量摄入 PO 不会对健康造成任何风险。没有证据表明有任何理由改变脂肪摄入量建议；（3）食品行业有兴趣确保安全、可持续和高质量的产品。经认证的可持续 PO 的使用正在增加；（4）没有证据表明 PO 消费与人类更高的癌症风险、发病率或死亡率有关。JECFA 和 EFSA 为有毒污染物（2-和 3-单氯丙二醇（MCPD）、缩水甘油酯（GE））制定了每日允许摄入量（TDI）。因此，欧盟委员会修改了 GEs 的污染物法规，目前仍在制定 3-MCPDs 的法规。
