After fake eggs and poisoned milk powder, Chinese 'gutter oil' - Hindustan Times


A Chinese court on Wednesday jailed one man for life and sentenced more than a dozen to up to 15 years in jail for producing and selling cooking oil made from gutter waste, the latest food safety scandal

to fuel public mistrust. The Intermediate People's Court in the city of Lianyungang,
480 km (530 miles)
north of Shanghai, found the defendants guilty of making and trafficking in the "poisonous, harmful" oil between January 2011 and March 2012, it said on its website.


The product, made from waste oil and "meat-product waste", known in China as "gutter oil", was sold to processors in at least four provinces or provincial-level cities, including Beijing, it said. In 2011 and 2012 Wang's company, Kangrun, made more than 60 million yuan ($9.80 million) selling the oil.

Food safety is a highly emotive issue in China where there have been numerous scandals in recent years, from photos of food oil being scooped from drains to tales of phoney eggs and poison milk powder.

We must give credit where it's due!! Chinese are doing good to keep adulteration of food in check. Their Human development index is speaking our loud.

We aren't far behind in this race. But it happens at smaller scale and major productions houses are not involved at the scale it happens in China. We need some stringent laws against food adulteration in India before we speaks about others.

How about look yourself in the mirror first before posting ills of China? at least we punished the offenders according to the law, not sure about our "next up coming SUPER POWER" though

Do you know India belong to the TOP 5 food safety violation countries in the world as well? guess not eh?

In order, the top five most frequent offenders were: China, United States, India, Vietnam and Japan.

Because these are all countries exporting significant amounts of food to other countries, their food products get tested more, leading to their place in the top five.

Gutter Oil | South China Morning Post

Police inspect illegal cooking oil, better known as “gutter oil,” seized during a crackdown in Beijing on August 2, 2010, after reports said up to one-tenth of Chinese supplies were illegally made and contained cancer-causing agents.

Among the list of food safety scandals that have plagued China in recent years—toxic infant formula, pesticide-tainted vegetables, exploding watermelons, “lean meat powder” and pork reconstituted as beef—few are quite as stomach churning as the nauseatingly-named “gutter oil.” It involves, as the name implies, the resale of used cooking oil that has been scooped from sewers or bought from restaurants by criminals. A crackdown announced Tuesday by Chinese police gives a sense of the scope of the problem. In a six-month investigation spread across 14 provinces, police say they broke up six illicit oil recyclers and arrested 32 suspects. The authorities recovered 100 tons of gutter oil they say was being processed for resale.

With China’s size and the heavy reliance on oil for many popular dishes, proper disposal of used oil is a big problem. China consumes about 22.5 million tons of cooking oil annually, and as much as one out of every ten restaurant meals has been cooked in waste oil, He Dongping, a professor at Wuhan Polytechnic University, told state media last year. Aside from the ick factor, there are serious health concerns associated with gutter oil. It can be contaminated with the fungus aflatoxin, which can contribute to the risk of liver cancer. This page at the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences looks at the correlation between chronic aflatoxin exposure and liver cancer rates across the world. It’s striking how high liver cancer rates are across Asia, including China, and in parts of Africa. Waste oil is not the only source of aflatoxin, but its prevalence in China clearly adds to the problem here.

There are legitimate uses of used cooking oil, including as biodiesel. The Jinan Green Bio Oil Company in Shandong, was ostensibly a biodiesel firm, though it is accused of reprocessing gutter oil for more lucrative sales back into food markets. Investigators found 70 tons of “gutter oil” in various stages of processing at the company.

The gutter oil crackdown is just part of a broader effort to control China’s continuing food safety worries. As we wrote earlier this summer, the crackdown has been making headlines with more than 2,000 arrests. But such strike-hard tactics are only part of the equation, and cleaning up the food chain in China will require sustained effort. As food safety expert He Dongping noted last year in an interview with the China Youth Daily (republished here by the official China Daily), it might take ten years before the country cleans up its gutter oil problem. That’s hardly reassuring for Chinese consumers.
