This was terrifying to me since olive oil is a staple in our family. However, I hope we are OK since my Greek husband will settle for nothing less than the best olive oil! :)<BR/><BR/>It's always something! Thanks for your efforts in researching this. Your tips on buying olive oil are VERY helpful.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257784551296505299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32458049.post-69119070653285716742008-12-19T08:54:00.000-05:002008-12-19T08:54:00.000-05:00his seanandleah:in truth i don't know. the only re...his seanandleah:<BR/>in truth i don't know. the only reports that i've seen have been about olive oil.Allergic Girl®https://www.blogger.com/profile/14903866598372396735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32458049.post-50135598423071473822008-12-19T00:39:00.000-05:002008-12-19T00:39:00.000-05:00Is this only the case w/ olive oil or are other oi...Is this only the case w/ olive oil or are other oils, soybean, canola, etc. susceptible to cross contamination w/ nut oils as well?Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526030301852436541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32458049.post-50430191986911493402008-12-18T18:11:00.000-05:002008-12-18T18:11:00.000-05:00thank you pam!thank you pam!Allergic Girl®https://www.blogger.com/profile/14903866598372396735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32458049.post-38439258204536521152008-12-18T18:10:00.000-05:002008-12-18T18:10:00.000-05:00A few references:Bertolli (and others):http://www....A few references:<BR/><BR/>Bertolli (and others):<BR/><BR/>http://www.chow.com/blog/tag/bertolli<BR/>http://intlxpatr.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/the-olive-oil-scandal/<BR/><BR/><BR/>Some other offenders (Canadian brands):<BR/><BR/>http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/files/food/oliveoil/index.html#offenders<BR/><BR/>"In 1995, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) testing olive oils for purity, conducted a study.

Hopefully they have cleaned up their act since then. However, there is nothing to ensure that your olive oil has not been hauled in a truck that previously hauled hazelnut oil, so be aware of cross contamination issues as well as out-and-out fraud.
