Hello everyone, As we continue to work to improve the public's relationship with food in terms of production, consumption, and even waste management, we wanted to discuss how the history behind vegetable oils that are prominently used within American kitchens. Vegetable oils, like butter, is utilized to prevent food from sticking to pans when being cooked. They can also be used as ingredients within baked goods, sauces, dressings, and more. Archaeologists have found evidence that vegetable oil has been produced for as long as 8000 years, seemingly starting in the Middle East. For centuries vegetables were mashed into a paste and the oil was separate from the rest of the mash. This was done via mechanical processes before it could be automated in a factory. In the modern day, oil is separated from vegetables via solvent extraction, hydrogenation, or deordorization. So, how many types of vegetable oil is there? There are at least 90 oils that are created from vegetables, and while the majority of them are edible, some of these oils are also serving as a source of biofuel. As the price of goods continue to rise, Americans are paying more attention to the forces behind inflating prices. Olive oil, for example, has skyrocketed in price due to the losses olive farmers have faced as a result of climate change, ultimately reducing the amount of olive oil that can be produced. Avocado oil's quality has also undergone scrutiny from the public has realized that "82% of avocado oil test samples were either stale before expiration date or mixed with other oils.", according to a study by UC Davis.

Going Seed Oil Free will be a significant movement in the health-conscious food space over the next decade. Julia Mills, Mintel's analyst for U.S. Food and Drink Reports, notes a 150% increase in "made with olive oil" claims and an 825% surge in "made with avocado oil" claims from 2019 to 2023. However, studies from the FDA and UC Davis reveal that over 25% of extra virgin olive oil and nearly 70% of avocado oil in the US supply chain are adulterated with cheaper seed oils (https://lnkd.in/ev57JBuy) like soybean, corn, or canola, underscoring widespread cooking oil fraud. As the food industry evolves and more brands and consumers are choosing premium oils, The Seed Oil Free Alliance will ensure this shift is transparent and verified through rigorous independent lab testing, auditing, and more. #seedoilfreecertified #cookingoils #ingredient #integrity

Avocado oil is good for you... right? Perhaps not! Avocado Oil Alert... A recent report from UC Davis divulged that 69% of avocado oils sold by retailers are either rancid, oxidized, or actually mixed with other oils. The study, published in the Journal of Food Control, includes 29 store-brand avocado oil samples. In fact, the study revealed in three specific cases where bottles labeled as “pure” or “extra virgin” avocado oil contained nearly 100% soybean oil, an oil commonly used in processed foods and less expensive. https://buff.ly/3vuJeBY 🥑🚨 Shocked? Fact: Avocado oil is difficult to produce in high quality, leading some manufacturers to resort to less-than-authentic practices. Often, the avocados used to make this oil are the ones deemed unsellable for regular consumption. Similar to the olive oil industry, the demand for avocado oil has surpassed the supply of genuine products, leading to the proliferation of counterfeit or low-quality options in the market. A great quantity of it is #FAKE Be vigilant when purchasing avocado oil, and ensure you're getting the real deal- your health is at stake! #AvocadoOil #FoodFacts #HealthAlert #AskDrPat #YouthWhisperer #HealthyEating

In daily life, we will find that every fruit has a piece of paper attached, which is a fruit label. So what is the role of a fruit label? In order to facilitate supermarket tracking and querying of product types, sizes, and prices, the PLU code is used on bulk and unprocessed vegetables, fruits, herbs, seasonings, and dried fruits. Each set of four digit codes represents a combination of a specific variety and production area. From this specific set of codes, information such as the planting method, origin, and size specifications of agricultural products can be seen. It can also be said that the fruit label is the fruit's ID card. Generally, it will indicate which country the fruit comes from and which category it belongs to, similar to the barcodes and QR codes we see in daily life, giving consumers the right to be informed and choose. The fruit label is directly attached to the surface of the fruit, and many consumers are concerned that the chemicals on the label may seep into the fruit, which is harmful to their health. Among them, the most concerning is the pollution of benzene series compounds. However, through relevant experiments, it was found that there was no residual benzene content detected in the labeled and unlabeled fruits of food, and there was no health damage to the human body. But before eating, it is still important to pay attention and clean the remaining glue at the sticker area dry. Fresh fruits and ingredients have cellular activity, and fresh respiration produces gases and water, forming dew and producing carbon dioxide gas; Newly harvested fruits and vegetables also produce ethylene gas, which accumulates in sealed packaging bags and can cause plants to overripe and rot. Therefore, labels and strapping tapes applied to fruits need to have good breathability. Overall, fruit labels are an important way for consumers to understand information about product sources and ensure food safety. #fruitlabels https://lnkd.in/eMhh2nmJ
