Chinese authorities have set up a high-level team to investigate food transport standards, after a report by The Beijing News alleged tanker trucks used to transport chemicals were also carrying cooking oil without cleaning between shipments. The mainland newspaper, which published the report on July 2, 2024, said the practice was a cost-saving measure. The scandal has sparked public outcry and prompted the Chinese State Council’s Food Safety Commission to order the probe.

The news spread after the bosses themselves tell their relatives and friends not to consume their brand of cooking oil.
The contaminated oil can ended up in restorant, food factory etc... anyway
Just like our friend told us to avoid the “ Little Caesar’s” pizza in our town. He works there! 🤮
Yikes

If no one was punished in 2005 and 2015 and no measures were put in place for testing, then of course they will do it again, and again. Stay tuned for the same headline 10 years from now.
I was going to say the same thing...
I think you are wrong. The fact that a government spokesman came out to speak about it means they are planning to do something about it and make themselves look like an hero. Otherwise, they would have buried it under the rug.
They were punished. Some were executed. But there will always be people who are willing to break the laws for profits. Take drug trafficking as another example. In a number of countries, people found guilty were executed. Yet, there will be some who still will do it. Globally, we still have a huge drug trafficking problem.
That's human greed.
By the way, there are similar such practices in other countries where it is even more rampant. Why only the incident from China make the headlines, even though it is a relatively rare event?
We wait for next year then in 2025
What, not cleaning? You’re not supposed to use trucks carrying chemicals for oil used for food, PERIOD. You’ll never going to able to assure a thorough clean out of the chemical in the container to make it safe for food oil.
That is because, in Europe f.ex, we are used to having high standards when it comes to food..
That we actually take the hard work people do for us, for granted
This is like the Baby Formula scandal all over again
What happened?
And the pet food scandal. Which was the same chemical. I believe it was Melamine.
That stuff was exported to the US and unknowingly mixed into our pet food. Many cats died and dogs become sick.
@@tomtommyl805Jesus christ 😢😢😢
@@tomtommyl805baby formula sounds way more serious than frkn pets 😂
@@airplanes_aren.t_realMore than a decade ago, they filled baby formula milk with melamine as a filler to cut costs while also fooling the standardized tests to make it seem to have the same amount of protein content as normal baby formula.
May as well be "gutter oil"
Gutter oil may be preferable to this.
That's the premium stuff
nah, you been watching too much fg cult media again?
How do you know the gutter oil didnt originally come from one of these fuel trucks hahaha
or "Spit oil"
I live in Japan and this is why I never buy food that has Chinese ingredients or is made in china.
Japan has the highest number of food poisoning cases in Asia. Shut up.😂After China's reform and opening up, Taiwanese people introduced the concept of gutter oil learned from the Japanese to China. Capitalism makes people greedy.
Everything is made in China
Asia is the scariest place to eat
@@user-dr1yh5qs5bNice bait, Japan doesn't reuse cooking oil that's discarded into the sewer
@@PeterCaptainObvious Ironically, gutter oil originated from Japan😂
So it's every 10 years?
no, it been like this forever, it just gets reported the government the government pretends it cares and pretends its doing something but in reality its not thats why if you investigate it it will always come up because nothing is being done about it, its all a show by the government whos officials are corrupted by money
Of cause, the USD is high again, bad news with paniced customer, this will make the acquisitions much easier.
it is Yi h4i k3rry, trust me they are pushished!! they just lost 90b in share market; BTW, A$D$M is behind this. So, it will be big time!
Yeah. But it seems like they are early this time.
No, happens all the time. But approx every 10 years the CCP loses control over the information.
Gutter oil, sewer oil, water gathered from the toilet to be boiled 🤢
🤮🤮🤮🤮
When is there **not** some kind of food scandal in China??? Geez.
That's why I would never want to go there.
China doesn’t have consumer protection laws.
Why is anyone surprised by this?
I am not surprised they been doing this since the 70’s
Not sure anyone is.
@@SquidzitAceThere's about 1 billion people that are, for some reason. With such structurally unsound new roads and buildings and accepted usage of gutter oil, it seems ludicrous that this same refrain is sung by the CCP once a decade or thereabouts.
The rest of us? Eh, not so much.
Because chinese consumers are fussy just like western consumers
At least they weren't using septic tank pumpers.
Or were they?!
60% of cooking oil in China is controlled by a Singaporean Company.
urban legend or fg propaganda
SLOPAGANDPA! #theskydontlie
@@sinoroman what's the ccp paying you?
They uses that for transporting water
Yall out there selling fake rice and cabbage, eating plastic green toothpicks, this isn't surprising.
without cleaning between shipments? the fact that they use same transporter for fuel and chemicals and food is a scandal itself.
I bet they never cleaned the trucks at all, imagine all the toxic chemicals in the oil now
Actually, many countries make it compulsory that food trucks to carry only cooking oil and chemical trucks to carry chemicals only. Pure and total segregation. But this is not a compulsory requirement in China.
If they carry cleaning chemicals before carrying food will that make you stop whining?
@@blairhoughton7918 use the word properly. i am not whinning but riducule
This is a primary reason why I do not buy PRC food products.
Who the heck used fuel truck to transport cooking oil? It's insane.
a lot of companies cut corners like this, you never know what else is in it
@@reidpinchback8850Cooking oil produces those during cooking.
There are food grade tanker trucks such as milk and oil! Using a tanker truck is not the issue. The issue they used the same truck for dangerous chemicals as well!
@@mre_man Which isn't an issue if they clean it before using it for food.
They probably also clean it between loads of food, because food residue is one of the most hazardous chemicals.
Will we again witness hordes of panicked Chinese tourists emptying Store shelves in Australia of cooking oil ?
I hope not. Cooking oil prices are already high here...
Why am I not surprised?
Money and greed over life again🙄
True if no Oil they use Glutter Oil from sewer
This time the money goes to the Singapo company, they should own the truck, like local food company; but they just too greedy, they used 3rd party truck. They just lost 90b usd in the Chinese share market.
This is not new they been doing this since the 70’s
Those found guilty must be jail or dead penalties. China can’t call themselves advance nation with these scandals? Also back yard wine or milk producers must be strictly ban for commercial used.
But yet they require cosmetics testing on animals but want to serve you oil akin to “gutter oil” 🤨

Have these people any shame?
This is why it is hard to trust companies now :(
I'm surprised the report didn't mention the rampant sales of gutter-oil.
this is extremely dangerous. heartless people
Did anyone see a pattern here?
Seriously, why do the rich Chinese bosses treat human life as garbage?
communist militant atheism + capitalism = indifference to human empathy
It's not just Chinese bosses, it's the Chinese in general. Because of their population numbers they have learned not to value human life.
They adopted the worst parts of capitalism, Confucianism, and communism, and completely left out the best parts (Capitalism: Entrepreneurship and individuality, Confucianism: Community values and ethics, Communism: Caring for the poor, and collective ownership/shared profits)
@@rebeltheharem7028 Shared profits in communism? Yeah, only for the upper class lol
LOL. It's _ALL_ the same everywhere! Covid-19 vaccination scandal, Monsanto chemicals scandal, 2008 financial crisis scandals, and many, many more! Just pay attention to the local news.
It's everywhere. The love of money is the source of all evil. Would one nation have more evil than other? Sure.
it is Yi h4i k3rry, trust me they are pushished!! they just lost 90b in share market; BTW, A$D$M is behind this. So, it will be big time!
In a true capitalist country, a damage to the company's image is worse than a financial damage.
Do you remember the accident with Japanese bread? The company from Japan withdraw all packages from the stores
and publicly told buyers to send back their bought packages in exchange for a refund and a replacement that fits the quality standards.
Well, that means Chinese tourists are now going to add cooking oil to the list of products to buy & take home when abroad.
Calm down with your racist tune. It's not nationwide and they can just switch to another cooking oil company among the thousands available.
Filipino bots are flooding in meanwhile do they know where their oil comes from. How confident can westerners confirm their supply chain integrity. This is why we all must know where our foods come from.
Why should they do that,cooking oil is so heavy!
China may have some bad hats but they are way advanced than many well known countries
I was there for a few years n it's an awesome country!
How is he racist for making a joke that was from the video? You must be a CCP bot@@Kimmimaro86
@@GreySchezwan Probably that is because he could be one of those that will do such a thing or come out with such idea
In other news, water is wet
Old habits never die.
this time the company is an american company AMD
This also occurs here in the USA.
Sources? definitively want to read about it
You have any proof? I usually see videos of gutter oil or spit oil from Chinese restaurants.
Why no mention of "chemicals"?
Are they so bad that they can't be reported?
@gay11yo51yo Do you understand what "under investigation" means? Are they meant to name the chemicals without confirmation from the investigation? That would be irresponsible.
what we do know the truck was shipping kerosene, fertilizers, different alcohols and lots of other different solvents, it’s reported and is bad enough. But they can always argue that they actually use different tanks.
Yes
dangerous chemicals not for human consumption
Probably concentrated solvents and other very toxic stuff
What do you expect from China? Honesty? Dream away!
Yes we do . They are honest unlike USA
Why only now does the government take action? This has been happening for years.
because news got out and couldnt be covered up with bribes and dismissals
Just get your oil from the gutter like everybody else does. duuuhhh
This is China 😂 東方衛視都說得很清楚了！
This basically tells me that China has never changed their standards on transporting oil since it seems to keep happening, they just take a break after getting caught then go back to it.
The people of China have been using oil that has had chemicals mixed in for decades
welcome to financial corruption by government officials
Their food safety standard is pretty low. Yet, they complain about Japan's releasing of the treated water. Laughable
@@Connetification thats what happens when the news media is completely controlled by the government
@@Connetification Japan lies about the water...
@@Connetification Just listen to yourself. Japan claims the treated nuclear water is 100% safe… so why did they need to release it? The Japanese could drink it if it was safe 🤡
I remember the same thing was happening (hopefully no longer is) in the US. Transport trucks hauling industrial caustic chemicals one trip, and milk or orange juice the next. I think it was a 60 minutes report (20 years ago???).
Hopefully the government will find the parties involved and assign responsibility for this terrible act. Then let the law pursue the maximum penalties.
Asian employers and business owners need to stop with the 'cost cutting' mentality.
Greed is all they are

Sorry, it is a Singapo company which mostly own by 1/4 biggest food company in the world which from US.
Seed oil is already bad enough. Now this?
China and India instead being enemy they should be holding hand together cause they have same behaviour in regards on handling food safety and clealiness. 🤣😅
In China, at least they punish such criminals. Same goes for corruption. I don't see India doing anything about these problems anytime soon. Meanwhile bridges are still collapsing.
😂😂😂😂
India is way worse. Would eat Chinese food any day instead of India food.
It’s a joke in India. So many people believe that Ganges is clean because it is a holy river, while they keep dumping sewage, garbage, and bodies in it 🙄
Well... same India has A2 Bilona ghee in every household that you can't afford to buy. Oil companies only cover 50% or less market coz half the people grow mustard and get oil fresh from the mill
is hygiene illegal in china???
It is in their genes 🤢
,.,..,..,..,.,,,,.,.,,,,,.,,..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,
"that higienical measures seem pretty reactionary, comrade..."
I think it is, actually. I mean, they eat bats 💀
Seed oils are originally made for engine lubricants anyway like crisco
Just China being China
Shocker
2005, 2015, 2024... did the media release too early?
I remember my mum regularly saying that a fry-up in the morning was your fuel for the day. How right she was!
Wow since 2005? And it happen again.
Well well well they’ve done it again. I’ve read about restaurants reusing dumped oil and now this. Leave it to the Chinese to find some way to cut costs at the risk of killing others. Sheesh 🙄
Result of having no morals to its citizen and consumers. Such a shame CCP 😢
No need to paint all chinese to be like that
I learnt the other day that large container ships with their holds full of coal for shipment, once the load has been emptied, they just hose down the inside of the hold and fill it with the next shipment which could be grain or rice.
The grain or rice isn’t packaged in any way whatsoever, it’s just dumped in the same hold that recently carried coal.
So they were a year early this time?
Look up the history of those “ cooking oils”. They used to be used for motors and machines before rebranded for humans. Google canola oil or soybean oil and so on and how they are made in factories.
Reason #5,345,234 to stay out of Mainland. If I want Chinese culture, I will go to Taiwan.
In the United States, there are tanker trailers designated and marked with big letters. "FOOD GRADE." This was instituted years ago.
if you're shocked with truck oil, wait until you find out about gutter oil.
It's a ten year thing
it is Yi h4i k3rry, trust me they are pushished!! they just lost 90b in share market; BTW, A$D$M is behind this. So, it will be big time!
No body is talking about how the journalist who uncover this went missing
It's still on par with their standards. Why are we surprised by this?
China transports cooking oil in industrial oil tank trucks and drinking water in sewage tank trucks.What's surprising is that it is the largest cooking oil brand in the China. 😂😂
Source ?
That's Florida
What were they thinking?
Lol that's the least of their problems
How about their favourite snack, gutter oil?
Well, when it’s spit oil or gutter oil, what difference does it make?
I would think fuel trucks are dedicated trucks, and are not used to carry fuel as well.
I saw this happen once in PA. A tanker truck had stopped behind this cuban place I'd eat at and I saw them filling up drums with what looked like cooking oil and bringing them inside, but the truck was from some chemical transport company.
yet they do nothing about gutter oil, spit oil, and many more toxic food practices.
What else do they reuse in China. Chicken 🍗
Why I never get groceries at a "dollar store"
They can just do chemical analysis of the cooking oils purchased from stores to see if there are any trace amounts of chemicals.
Are they transporting the refined sewer grease that was in the news a couple years ago in china
Didn't expect less from the shing shongs.
at first i thought this was about gutter oil, which i have seen videoes of a few street vendors using.
As a Hong Kong Chinese, I try to avoid chyna made food but failed, because I can't afford foreign products.
Oh, so you're a HKer today.

That why consumer should choose products that comply with ISO-9000
It is strange, one of the company involved sounded like state owned, normally they don’t really care about profit as much as keeping their position, and this would surely NOT allowing them to keep their position
This is insane
They get cooking oil from sewers too! There’s a documentary on it
so meaning other food including snack that use oil to fry are effected... wonder those exported snack... since this practices occur every 10 years... lets see who will be the scape goat
just FIY not "all" oil companies. China has 15k+ cooking oil companies.
I know it’s weird how racist China is
Thought it was supposed to be every 10 years, they’re early
I'm not even surprised...
The reason why I don't buy any food made in China.

hopefully the bottles themselves had adequate sealing

What i find really interesting is i follow channels that cover whats going on in china and they covered this months ago. Crazy to see it take so long to make it to main stream news.
That is fked up broo.
Sounds like a place a virus could escape a lab to me.
Thanks for reporting. Hope this health hazard can be stopped.
no one regulates China practices .... that's the problem ...
Why do my chicken fingers taste like gasoline?
Easy solution for the Chinese:
Airfryers. They manufacture them anyways.
This sort of thing is exactly why I quit eating all food from China.
Get salmonella deaths from California products regularly.
太吓人了
There are literally videoes of Chinese shop fishing gutter oil from the sewer. Having them be in tanker trucks are the least of your problem
Lol despite how iften this claim is made no one could actually provide such a video
President Xi Said my wife used only pure 100% imported cooking oil. That why noone dare to poison me. 🤣😂
The affected brand of oil is a foreign brand.
Such a wonderful culture these people have!
Disgusting!
all for some extra pocket money....
Lesson :- Don't buy Chinese processed food products. Don't buy Chinese dairy products. As far as "cleaning" is concerned that statement compounds the gross ignorance of the reporter. Tankers for food oils or liquids are not to be used for any other purpose at all. Looking at the comments below, about food quality in China, no wonder consumers around the world refuse to use Chinese food products.
