Nearly 18,000 litres of fake cooking oil was seized by the medical department in Ajmer, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has tweeted. "About 18 thousand liters of misbranded edible oil was seized on Thursday #Ajmer by the medical department in a campaign against #मिलावट . Here, edible oil was being prepared by using duplicates and different labels of various famous brands and by misbranding and adulteration," the Medical & Health Department, Rajasthan has tweeted on X (formerly Twitter).
In the past, the apex food regulator of the country has seized such adulterated cooking oil manufacturers. Here arises an important question, what is fake cooking oil? How to identify whether the cooking oil that we purchase from the market is fake or genuine?
