Food safety issues have always been a top concern for everyone What are the dangers of these counterfeit peanut oils? This reveals the secret to you
What are the dangers of counterfeit peanut oil?
When many counterfeiters produce counterfeit brand cooking oil, they directly mix the bulk peanut oil, palm oil, soybean oil, etc. into the so-called blending oil, pure peanut oil, etc. When the fragrance and flavor are not right, add "peanut oil flavor", and the amount is more or less depends on the feeling.

In addition, the processing process of counterfeit peanut oil is simple, it is difficult to filter out moldy peanuts in the processing process, lack of finishing and inspection, it is difficult to meet the national safety standards of edible oil, and it is easy to exceed the standard of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a first-degree carcinogen, and long-term accumulation has a destructive effect on human liver tissue, which can lead to liver cancer and even death.
How to tell if peanut oil is adulterated?
1. Beware of packaging traps: On the packaging of the product, the nominal "extra virgin oil" and other font sizes are very large, while the font size of "edible blended oil" as a product attribute is very small. And some trademark graphics are easy to scrape off with fingernails, and plastic bottle caps are roughly made.
2. Look at the color of the oil: high-quality peanut oil is light yellow and transparent, the color is clear, there is no sedimentary substance, and the color is dark and turbid for inferior peanut oil.
3. Smell the smell of oil: drop a few drops of peanut oil to the palm of your hand, rub it until the palm of your hand is hot and smell it, you will find that the aroma of adulterated peanut oil is getting weaker and weaker, and it may also produce odors, while pure peanut oil still maintains a stronger peanut oil flavor.
4. See if there is layering: If there is layering, it is likely to be adulterated mixed oil.
