News: Taiwan's cooking oil scandal escalated as 8 camellia oil products were found with excessive levels of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene, all tied to OEM manufacturer Yuanchun Oil Mill in Chiayi.
Health authorities ordered Yuanchun to suspend operations, while prosecutors launched an investigation. A conflict has emerged as Yuanchun claimed clients provided the seeds, while client YFY Biotech denied supplying raw materials.
My opinion: I honestly advise everyone not to travel to Taiwan in the near future, at least for the next six months, if you care about your health and want to avoid toxic oil. This toxic oil crisis is actively spreading, with no signs of slowing down.
