§ 112920 Olive Oil Denaturation Requirements

• •Olive oil used for things like machines or cleaning must be made to smell bad.
• •This bad smell makes sure no one tries to eat or cook with it.
• •The law helps keep people safe by making it clear this oil isn't for food.

A factory uses olive oil to keep machines running smoothly.

The factory must add a stinky smell to the oil so workers don’t mistake it for cooking oil and accidentally use it in food.
