Executive in tainted-oil case gets NT$20 million bail; prosecutors appeal
Posted on 2026-07-11 16:08:15
The general manager of Central Union Oil Corp. has been released on NT$20
million (US$622,791) bail, as prosecutors continue to look into why cooking
oil manufactured by the company contained excessive amounts of the carcinogen
benzo[a]pyrene.

The Taichung District Court also ordered the company's chairman released on
NT$20 million bail, its plant manager released on NT$1 million bail, and 10
other suspects released on bail ranging from NT$500,000 to NT$10 million
pending further investigation.

Prosecutors immediately appealed the bail ruling for the company's general
manager Yu Ling-chung (余凌沖) but not for any of the other bail orders.

Central Union is being investigated for allegedly manufacturing 1,300 metric
tons of soy-based cooking oil containing four times the legal limit of
benzo[a]pyrene and supplying it between April and June to major food
processors.
