A recent batch of soybean salad oil has been found to contain levels of benzopyrene exceeding legal limits, prompting recalls of cooking oil products from major Taiwanese brands including Taishan, Fusho, and Fumo. The affected oil was sourced from Zhonglian Oils & Fats Co., revealing the company’s background as a key supplier. Health authorities initiated the recalls to safeguard public health, instructing consumers to discontinue use of the implicated products. Investigations are underway to determine the extent of contamination and identify the source of the issue within the supply chain. The discovery raises concerns about food safety standards and oversight within the cooking oil industry. This incident echoes previous food safety scares in Taiwan, increasing scrutiny of food production and distribution practices. Consumers are urged to check product labels and follow official recall instructions.
