Palm oil, Treif?

How can palm oil be truly treif? You bring in kosher palm-oil in unheated totes, so when it arives in the US it's a solid and can not be packaged. The palm oil must be heated in order to package it into smaller containers.

It was heated with "TREIF" steam, so the palm oil is now all treif, even if it carries a heimish or chasidish hashgocha, WOW!

This is a palm oil under Rav illowitz packed in Brazil, which is acceptable.
