In the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's updated list of imitations and adulteration, it was determined that seed oil was mixed into 21 brands and products offered for sale as olive oil.
Laboratory examinations found that cheaper seed oils were mixed into products sold with 'natural extra virgin' and 'cold pressed' labels. The list included products of producers and sellers in Aydın, Balıkesir, İzmir, Artvin, and Hatay.
