Cooking Oil from China | Possible Crisis

I have come across another potential food crisis.  According to the attached article, “People in China consume 2 to 3 million tons of illegal cooking oil every year” The cooking oil is made up of recycled kitchen or restaurant waste containing aflatoxin.

Aflatoxins – Is a toxin produced from mold that can cause  cancer.

A nationwide inspection has been ordered by China’s State Food and Drug Administration.
