The UTZ certification process is an example of a consumer awareness tactic that worked: in the Netherlands the majority of products with chocolate in it carries that logo. It now makes more sense for the manufacturer to just get certified chocolate.
But that worked because chocolate is very recognizable as an ingredient. Palm oil isn't, and it's in everything. Perhaps a similar certification process might help, but when you buy something that doesn't carry the logo you'll still have to check the ingredients list because often you have no idea if palm oil was used or not.
