Blending oil recipes that are not published raise doubts about genetically modified vegetable oils or their flow into the table

Peanut blending oil actually accounts for less than 5% of peanut oil, and a drop of olive oil can also be called olive blending oil? ...... Although edible blended oil is a product with high gross profit of major enterprises, it has been criticized by the market. Grain and oil enterprises also use trade secrets as a reason to keep the proportion of recipes for their respective edible blended oils strictly confidential.

My investigation in the grain and oil wholesale markets in Beijing and Shanghai respectively found that although the oil types of blended oils are different, the oil types are labeled in order from largest to smallest when labeling, and soybean oil and rapeseed oil are the oils with the largest content in blended oils, generally exceeding 40%.

People from the China Grain Storage Small Package Edible Oil Company clearly pointed out that the variety of peanut blending oils and olive blended oils on the market will not account for more than 10% of the total oil volume. What businesses are doing is concept hype, chasing more profits.

Wang Qingrong, deputy general manager of China Grain storage oil and fat Co., Ltd., said: There may be a potential reason why manufacturers are reluctant to disclose the formula, that is, the public formula is equal to the cost of disclosure. Without a profit selling point, this is what major brand companies are reluctant to do.

What worries the outside world even more is the presence of palm oil in edible blended oil, which contains more than 50% saturated fatty acids and has poor nutritional quality than lard. When the temperature drops, it condenses into a white solid like lard. Long-term consumption of palm oil will cause excessive intake of serum saturated fatty acids in the human body, resulting in elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL, thereby causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In the final analysis, the chaos of edible blended oil is the difficult production of the new national standard, and the cause of difficult production, in addition to whether to publish the proportion of the formula, etc., the lack of detection means is also the main reason.

A secret formula for blending oils

China Grain Storage Oil Marketing Company revealed that the named oil on the market will not exceed 10%, and some companies will not even have less than 1%.

I have seen in the Beijing and Shanghai markets that there are currently a variety of blended oil products, including peanut blending oil, fragrant peanut blending oil, original fragrant peanut blending oil, olive blended oil, olive sunflower oil, olive blended oil, soybean blended oil, camellia blended oil, sesame blended oil, peanut sesame blended oil, walnut peanut sesame blended oil, mustard blended oil, sunflower seed blended oil, etc. On the market, there are no less than ten kinds of blended oils named after one of the oils, plus untitled main features and other blended oils. There are no less than 20 kinds of blending oils on the market.

However, what currently confuses consumers is that although there are many types of edible blended oil markets, the product formulas of various grain and oil companies have never been for outsiders.

Taking a fish oil-based edible blending oil launched by the Arowana brand of Yihai Kerry Company as an example, the reporter saw in a supermarket in Shanghai that its ingredient list only showed that it contained: soybean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, fish oil, sesame oil and food additives. The company did not label how much fish oil was made of, and consumers could not obtain ingredient information from other sources.

A person who has been engaged in research in the field of ingredient formulation for many years told reporters that although it does not reflect the specific proportion of ingredients, according to general practice, the higher the ingredients in the product, the more ingredients it has.

From this point of view, the fish oil composition of Arowana's product ranks fourth, and it can almost be determined that its composition ratio must be below 25%.

A person from a domestic grain and oil company told reporters that in general, the first two of the edible blended oil formula accounted for the largest proportion, and the composition of the formula behind it was almost less than 10%.

At present, the mainstream brands have not announced the proportion of raw materials, and only the latecomers, Jinding Small Package Edible Oil, announced the proportion of ingredients for its edible blended oil in August last year:

The main ingredients of the mainstream brand blended oil in the market, soybean oil and rapeseed oil, are similar to the proportion of ingredients of Jinding, and the difference is how many other oils there are.

As a challenger to the unspoken rules of the industry, China Grain Storage Oil marketing company pointed out that the named oil blended oil on the market will not exceed 10%, and some companies are even less than 1%, and there is a drop of olive oil that can also be called olive blended oil.

A grain and oil wholesaler in Shanghai's Pudong area told reporters: Now the products of food blending oil should be based on the selling point, like olive oil, fish oil blending oil sells very well, while ordinary soybean blending oil buys fewer and fewer people.

People from the China Grain Storage Oil marketing company said that the company's pricing is high or low. In fact, it is possible to calculate whether the price of this blended oil is overpriced by the price of each oil.

Informed sources told reporters that peanut blending oil of a well-known edible oil company that focuses on peanut oil actually accounts for less than 5% of the blended oil.

。

A person from the China Grain Storage Oil and Fat Sales Company said: The proportion of the formula of the blended oil is announced, and the cost is disclosed, and it is impossible to improve profits by means of the novel concept and the hype of the concept of flavor blended oil.
