Test results withheld in tainted oil case amid suspected sample fraud
Posted on 2026-07-13 07:56:13
Health authorities say they are withholding test results for cooking oil
produced by Central Union Oil after conflicting results raised questions
about the reliability of the samples.

The move comes as officials continue investigating how some batches became
contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical benzo[a]pyrene.

Health Minister Shih Chung-liang says samples kept by Central Union did not
match test results from products made using the company's oil.

Because of those discrepancies, the Food and Drug Administration has decided
not to release the latest test results and instead ordered every production
batch to be re-tested by accredited third-party laboratories.

The FDA says it expects to announce today when products made with the
affected batches between April and June can return to store shelves.

Benzo[a]pyrene is commonly found in tobacco smoke, and vehicle exhaust fumes.
