This heartening to hear and needed for other oils. We bought some Chosen avocado oil in the grocery store and it smoked on a low heat skillet. Avocado oil smokes at 500 F so clearly there was hardly any avocado oil in the bottle.

The answer is company ending fines but western governments don’t have the stomach for punishing companies on behalf of consumers.

[Teever]

Agreed. There needs to be some way for consumers to easily have products tested and significant fines issued against retailers that are found to be selling counterfeit items.

If the consumer gets a cut of that fineabd it's greater than the cost of the product testing then there will be an economic incentive for someone to go after this problem and the people who profit off of it.

[thworp]

Can you please give some examples of non-western governments fining companies on behalf of customers?

That's interesting, I'd have expected the most likely oil to adulterate with would be soybean oil since it's pretty cheap, but the smoke point is still fairly high. Maybe your bottle was rancid, too?

[j-bos]

Maybe, but the taste wasn't rancid.
