Transcripts
golden crispy fried chicken fries and
fragrant pan fried buns make it hard to
resist the temptation of fried foods
however these delicious and cheap Street
Foods might be made with gutter oil some
might say then I'll just cook at home
and avoid eating out while that might
help you avoid gutter oil you might not
escape the dangers of Tainted tanker oil
recently a Chinese media Outlet the
Beijing news revealed a severe problem
in China's edible oil industry tanker
trucks that transport chemical products
like cold derived oil are not cleaned
before transporting edible oil this bulk
edible oil is then packaged as various
brand name oils and ends up on people's
tables some people even exposed a truck
labeled as a watery delivery vehicle but
when the label was removed it turned out
to be a sewage truck allegedly this
truck was delivering drinking water this
caused an uproar online one person
commented mixing oils is bad enough but
mixing water with sewage that's just
disgusting no matter how clean a toilet
is it can't be used as a kitchen
unfortunately this has long been an Open
Secret in the tanker transport industry
as early as 2005 a report from Southern
Country news highlighted the issue of
tanker contamination where trucks that
transported hazardous chemicals also
transported food they mentioned trucks
carrying gasoline and then molasses
Diesel and then edible alcohol costic
soda and then hydrogen peroxide in 2015
hant TV also exposed that trucks
transporting toxic chemicals were
illegally transporting edible oil
despite these reports the relevant
authorities did not take action and the
issue didn't gain public attention this
practice has continued for years meaning
many people might have consumed oil
contaminated with various chemicals
people condemned the fact that it took
over 9 years and the Beijing news
exposure for anyone to realize that this
poisoning Behavior has been ongoing
thankfully the Beijing news report this
time has made a significant impact
possibly because it involved several
large state-owned enterpris and many
well-known Brands the report caused a
stir online in China One of the
implicated companies sinograin faced
widespread criticism and
mockery so the blended oil was mixed
with kerosene my cooking caught fire and
I thought it was my excellent cooking
skills now I know it was the kerosene
sinograin the pillar of China's food
security has really boosted GDP
contributing to the medical industry
creating a closed loop it's like a
perpetual motion machine for GDP in the
end it probably blamed on the
US no wonder there's been a gasoline
smell every time I cook for the past 2
years I could never figure out why but
now I finally know the reason this woman
is also frustrated wondering why she
didn't notice the strange smell in her
oil
earlier now when I walk into the kitchen
and see golden dragon fish oil I smell
it and it smells like engine oil the
problem is I've already consumed so much
of it can I just vomit it out now what's
even scarier is that people don't know
which brands of edible oil are affected
by this mixed tanker oil issue they
don't know what chemical products might
have been mixed into the oil they are
consuming so everyone is worried whether
the edible oil they bought is still safe
to eat this is like a time bomb planted
in our daily
diet after watching the news I quickly
checked the oil I just bought it should
be fine right it's produced locally here
in harabin so it should be safe to eat
right
huh can I use this brand of oil look it
just says it's repackaged by a
subcontractor which means they probably
used a tanker truck those tanker trucks
are surely shared right it's impossible
that only one company uses them can this
world get any better even if I avoid
store-bought oil and make my own lard I
can't completely avoid takeout and
restaurants right they just don't treat
us like humans we're like their
livestock from what we eat and drink to
getting sick and needing Medical Care
they've planned it all out for us
haven't they some nens also pointed out
that back in 2017 a German testing lab
found high levels of mineral oil in laa
ma chili sauce as well as in products
from haidilao yoa and La Gander even
Dove chocolate had excessive mineral oil
levels now it all makes sense it's not
that these products added mineral oil
it's that the so-called cooking oil that
they used was already contaminated with
mineral oil what exactly is coal derived
oil it's a chemical liquid processed
from coal containing unsaturated
hydrocarbons aromatic hydrocarbons
sulfides and other toxic substances
long-term consumption can lead to
poisoning or even cancer if highly toxic
chemical liquids remain direct contact
or inhalation can harm the body
affecting the respiratory and digestive
systems according to a report from the
Beijing news on July 2nd after long-term
tracking and investigation it was found
that many tanker trucks in China
transport both edible liquids like syrup
and soybean oil and chemical liquids
like coold derived oil the details
revealed are shocking on May 21st at
10:00 a.m. a tanker truck slowly drove
into a grain and Oil Company an hour
later the truck left the plant loaded
with over 30 tons of soybean oil few
knew that just 3 days earlier the same
tanker truck had transported a load of
cold derived oil from ninga to Chin
hanga H after unloading the tank was not
cleaned before filled with edible
soybean oil for further transport that
afternoon another tanker truck that had
unloaded coold derived oil 3 days
earlier drove directly into Cog grain
oils and fats tinging company without
being cleaned without any inspection
procedures it loaded 35 tons of cooking
oil a tanker truck driver revealed to
the Beijing news that to save costs it's
a common practice in the industry to
transport both food grade and chemical
liquids without cleaning the tanks this
practice is an Open Secret in the tanker
transport industry when asked why this
mixed transport happens One driver
explained that since tanker trucks
frequently switch loads each cleaning
incurs significant costs given the
fierce competition and low profits in
the transport industry they cut costs
wherever possible some cooking oil
manufacturers also fail to enforce
strict standards according to the driver
whether transporting cooking oil
lubricating oil or coold derived oil
there's hardly any inspection if there
is it's only a cursory check of the
Tank's opening and rear if those areas
are clean the entire tanker is
considered clean what the tanker
previously transported and whether there
are any liquid residues inside are not
considered some manufacturers require
dedicated vehicles for cooking oil
drivers can easily bypass this by
printing a few for cooking oil only
labels on 4A paper and sticking them
over the original chemical labels to
pass inspections what's most shocking is
that China currently has no mandatory
standards for transport and cooking oil
there's only a recommended standard the
bulk transport specific specifications
for edible vegetable oil which states
that dedicated Vehicles should be used
for transporting bulk vegetable oil
since it's a recommended standard it has
limited binding power on manufacturers
thus the only control over the transport
process depends on the transporter's
conscience to save money some tanker
truck owners simply have their drivers
wipe the Tank's opening and rear with a
cloth before loading cooking oil a video
Exposed on the xplatform showed just how
filthy these oil tanker trucks can be
the video revealed mer residual liquids
and lots of sediment at the bottom of
the tank making for a disturbing sight
an industry Insider told Mainland media
that not all cooking oil is sold in
small packages much of it is sold in
bulk to packaging factories which then
label it with their brands and sell it
in supermarkets some of this bulk oil is
also purchased by food companies such as
LA ganma to use as raw materials one
nison tracked the movement of an oil
tanker truck over the past 3 months and
found that it transported not only cold
derived oil and grain oil but also feed
fertilizer and suspected hazardous
chemicals the destinations included
chemical plants oil factories packaging
plants food factories and even pet food
factories a comment on this situation
read this is completely rotten all the
oil factories are compromised none are
safe it's not the driver's fault it's
due to years of no oversight the
government's failure has led everyone to
consume poison another comment stated as
long as the Chinese Communist party's
Elite continue to enjoy special Supply
food the people's food safety issues
will persist the ccp's demise is the
only way to ensure everyone's safety yet
another nzen remarked in this Twisted
Society people harm each other don't
tanker drivers realize they might be
eating the same oil they transport once
they eat out or order takeout the whole
society is rotten after the incident was
exposed the companies involved tried to
distance themselves from the Scandal on
July 6th sinograin group issued a
statement claiming they took the recent
media reports about the mixed use of oil
tanker trucks very seriously they
announced a thorough inspection across
their entire system including checking
whether the transport tools meet food
safety regulations and whether the
transport procedures are standardized
this announcement sparked further
outrage as it did not include an apology
or details on how they would handle the
contaminated cooking oil such as recalls
or compensation additionally they were
accused of filtering out nzen comments
on July 8th huu grains and oils Group
which was filmed having tanker trucks
entering its facility responded to the
media by saying the tanker truck is not
ours and there are no quality issues
with the huu brand oil from our company
several publicly traded companies also
responded to the incident Brands like
golden dragon fish Dow da Tren xiwang
food and jingen holdings all distanced
themselves from the Scandal Cog grain's
cooking oil brand Jing ding suddenly
removed its products from its taal
flagship store yesterday customer
service claimed that the warehouse was
taking a break and that the products
would be restocked later the topic
surged on social media on July 8th under
public pressure the usually silent
Chinese State media finally spoke up
sharply criticizing sinograin on July
8th CCTV published a commentary directly
targeting sinograin the article stated
for the management of edible liquids
entering and exiting warehouses
especially for major state-owned
Enterprises claiming we didn't check the
tanks because we couldn't tell is
shocking this is not incompetence but a
lack of morality and responsibility
aiding and abetting wrongdoing such
irresponsible Behavior avor can endanger
consumers lives the southern Metropolis
daily echoed the sentiment one nison
commented that everyone could have
consumed this contaminated oil
regardless of their official rank
especially products under the Cog grain
label hence the state media started
paying attention because only the
highest ranking officials have access to
special Food Supplies most officials
were affected however Cog grain's
irresponsible response also raised
public
suspicion Cog hasn't told the public the
contaminated oil went their latest
response claims their cooking oil brand
has no quality issues and a safe to
consume how can the public believe this
how will they compensate for the health
risks and emotional damage caused by the
toxic oil where did the oil go who
consumed it Cog grain's response doesn't
mention any of this this woman also
explained that as the situation
developed Cog grain's cooking oil brand
Jing ding was removed and then
reinstated on its tbal flagship store
customer service insisted the products
were of high quality and supported
testing assuring safety however by July
9th the products were removed again
these inconsistent responses and the
official rhetoric only fueled further
speculation and concern among citizens
despite being confirmed that industrial
oil and cooking oil were mixed sinograin
did not provide any explanation for the
whereabouts of the contaminated oil and
responded with firm reassurances telling
the public that the oil was safe faced
with public outrage the products were
taken off the shelves then reinstated
only to be removed again which the
public perceived as insincere attempts
to gauge reactions even if there were no
problems shouldn't the involved Brands
proactively take measures and present
evidence to win back trust compared to
the heated public opinion and skepticism
their calm reassurances seem lacking in
sincerity this woman believes that the
toxic oil incident highlights Cog
grain's failure to take responsibility
commensurate with its capabilities it is
a depletion of public trust and a
challenge to Social and legal Norms
large scale violations like this are
difficult for individuals to prove and
seek compensation for so the judicial
system should act proactively on behalf
of all victims and potential victims
regarding the practice of mixing cold
derived oil and cooking oil in tanker
trucks an associate professor of Law and
practicing lawyer at South China
University of Technology stated that the
behavior of the drivers company and
their staff could be classified as a
criminal offense under article 144 of
the criminal law which pertains to the
production and sale of toxic and harmful
food assistant researcher at The
Institute of food economics Chinese
Academy of social sciences Yang Shin
mentioned that while China has made
significant efforts in food safety the
punitive compensation system needs
Improvement he argued that overly harsh
punitive measures might negatively
impact the development of emerging food
companies however he seems to overlook
that prioritizing economic development
at the expense of government regulation
compromises public health and safety
looking back at past food safety
incidents in China policies often only
change or improve after significant
events showing a lag or inertia in
building robust food safety systems some
suggest that the relevant departments
should establish a blacklist system any
companies or individuals involved in
illegal activities in the food safety
sector should be blacklisted and banned
for life companies should be fined into
bankruptcy and individuals should be
financially ruined in food safety there
can be no compromises as it directly
impacts the health of 1.4 billion people
one nzen commented that the melamine
Scandal nearly wiped out China's
domestic milk powder industry overnight
with imported milk powder dominating the
market must Chinese be forced into
consuming imported oil now a severe food
safety incident not only harms consumers
Health but also destroys an entire
industry will the tanker incident lead
to a greater market share for imported
oils in China often Chinese nationalists
criticize those flocking to Sam's Club
and Costco calling them patriotic and
spineless however when food safety
incidents are exposed these same people
buying from American supermarkets are
getting genuinely safe food researcher
at the cross straight policy Association
and consultant at the Taiwan Think Tank
Wu stated that such problems have always
existed in mainland China The crucial
issue is that corporate responsibility
demands have not kept pace with the
times closely related to the lack of
rule of law in China's political system
he said businesses need to be profitable
but also maintain their image and
demonstrate social responsibility the
government must Foster an open
Democratic and free environment to
ensure proper oversight of businesses
associate professor at the University of
Technology Sydney fun Chong Yi argued
that the practice of using tankers for
both industrial and cooking oils shows a
fundamental lack of respect for life in
China he said China is the country with
the most rampant toxic food fun added
that this is due to extreme corruption
in the Chinese government which
outwardly fights corruption while
allowing money to bypass all food
inspection measures he said in every
country there are lowquality individuals
but if Public Power and government
regulatory measures are in place such
practices would be quickly eliminated
the Chinese Communist Party being
extremely hypocritical and corrupt fails
to ensure food safety
