These gutter oil claims are always on my mind when eating in Kunming so thought I'd check it out and read the article they have on this site now I know how big it is, wish I'd not checked lol
These quotes are all from about a year ago relating to a case but still the situation couldn't of changed that much :(
1)
'the company allegedly sold 32,000 tons of 'cooking oil' in Yunnan — much of it consisting of industrial and commercial waste'
2}
'CCTV reporters estimate the amount of these products sold was enough to supply 1.5 million consumers with cooking oil for a year'
3)
'According to the CCTV report, Chinese police have investigated 1.3 million cases of gutter oil production in 250,000 illegal factories over the last 18 months'
Big business gutter oil I'm guessing.....
