India’s top food regulator, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India or FSSAI, has said 2.42% of the 4,461 cooking oil samples it tested were non-compliant on account of safety standards, while 24.2% of samples failed to clear quality metrics, indicating possible adulteration of cooking oils in the market.

The FSSAI conducted a nationwide survey during 25-27 August 2020 on edible oils to assess oil safety, quality, and misbranding in cooking oils sold in the market. The purpose of the survey was to assess the “ground realities” with respect to oil safety, quality, and misbranding, the food safety regulator said in the findings of the survey shared with the media on Wednesday.
