There is confusion about the presence of various Vegetable Oils in Blended Edible Vegetable Oil. What are the provisions in the regulations? What a customer should see on the label of the container?

The clause 24 of sub-regulation 2.2.1 of Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011 prescribe the standards of Blended Edible Vegetable Oil wherein it is mentioned that the blended edible vegetable oil is an admixture of any two edible vegetable oils where the proportion by weight of any edible vegetable oil used in the admixture is not less than 20 per cent. A consumer should always look at the composition of blended oil i.e., name of oils used, nature (raw or refined) and quantity of oils on the label of blended oil.
