What Makes Huel's Ingredients Sustainable

Factor

Detail

100% plant-based

All Huel ingredients are plant-based β€” avoiding the high environmental costs associated with animal agriculture

Lower-impact crops

Core ingredients like oats, peas, and flaxseed have a significantly lower environmental footprint than animal-based alternatives

No palm oil

Huel does not use palm oil β€” one of the leading drivers of tropical deforestation

Deforestation-free sourcing

Huel avoids deforestation-linked ingredients and requires RSPO or equivalent certification where relevant

Carbon footprint monitoring

Huel regularly reviews ingredient sourcing to reduce carbon impact across the supply chain

Regenerative agriculture

Huel is actively investing in regenerative growing practices, including UK-grown regenerative oats through Gentle Farming


Continuous Improvement

Huel does not treat sustainability as a fixed standard β€” it continually reviews its sourcing to:

  • Reduce carbon impact across ingredients and supply chains

  • Support responsible agriculture through supplier partnerships and certifications

  • Improve soil health and biodiversity through regenerative farming initiatives
