Health authorities say 49 products made with oil from Central Union Oil Corp. have now been removed from shelves as a precaution.
The affected volume has been revised down from an earlier estimate of 110-thousand metric tons to about 27-thousand-500 metric tons supplied to Fwusow, Formosa Oilseed Processing and Taisun.
Two Central Union production lots tested above legal limits for the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene.
Meanwhile, McDonald's Taiwan issued a statement saying it does not use the affected oil batches, and its frying oil is imported sunflower oil.
However, it has temporarily suspended its Thousand Island dressing and changed the sauce used in breakfast egg burgers because the supplier made those sauces during the period covered by the withdrawal order.
