Chinese Cooking Oil “Made from Sewage”

The news that a tenth of all cooking oil used in China may be made from recycled sewage and laced with toxic contaminants has stunned China.
Originating from a report on a state radio station, the news that “Chinese are eating 3,000,000 tons of ‘recycled cooking oil’ each year, but it is 100 times more toxic than arsenic!” spread throughout China in a matter of days.
The cooking oil is apparently “recycled” from raw sewage taken from sewers and elsewhere, which is heated and filtered. After filtration the liquid is transparent and free of particulate matter, and can be rendered into cooking oil.
Fears over the toxicity of the recycled oil are high. Significant levels of aflatoxins have been detected, a poison said to be “100 times more toxic than arsenic,” and known to cause growth defects in children and cancer.
Viral and bacterial contaminants are thought not to be a problem, assuming the sewage-oil is properly boiled in preparation.
Despite the obvious hygiene and safety problems of using treated sewage in cooking, its usage is thought to be widespread, as the “recycled” cooking oil is all but indistinguishable from normal cooking oil, in all but one aspect – its price.
It costs only 300 yuan ($45) a ton to manufacture, half the price of regular oil, and it is said to be common use throughout China – estimates are that it constitutes a tenth of all cooking oil used in China.
Chinese food safety regulators, such as they are, launched an immediate emergency investigation, although it is not clear if they actually previously approved the activity.
China’s record on food safety is of course already utterly abysmal, but if as widespread as reported this could turn out to be the most damaging scandal to date, as cooking oil is an integral part of food preparation in China.
Nations importing cheap cooked foodstuffs from China may also be concerned that they have been inadvertently poisoning their children by trading with a nation in which regulation and business ethics are all but unknown.

oh
my
god
I only buy cooking oil made in my country, but thanks for the article... you almost made me puke.
I'm struggling to keep my dinner down. What the FUCK are they thinking?? Oh look, sewage with shit in it.. let make cooking oil! I'd love to cook them in it..
China strikes again? Past....Tainted milk, now...Tainted oil. What's next? Choose->
Tainted bread?
Expired food or canned goods?
Poison or fake Medicine?
Food or herbal medicine that contain human parts?
Shit containing food?
once again communism poisons its people...
It's practically alchemy!
@04:47
China is NOT communist. They are just as capitalist as the US. Communism is a complex political system that encompasses a great many things that do not apply to PRC.
And even if there were, don't jump the gun to point at communism. The red scare died some 20 years ago.
If you want to blame something, blame the lack of education or transparency in government. Communism as an ideology presumes neither, even had always encompassed both.
Communism? How damn moronically inbreed can you be?
This isn't communism, this is CAPITALISM at is finest moment - selling shit, and then reselling it to the same people after they've eaten it!
this shit aint new......this kind of shit happened like 10 yrs ago in china......then agen, american food is bad for u 2, they make u fat =]
Why don't we just go to look for something to fap at in SanCom rather than feed trolls here?
This has nothing to do with capitalism you fucking retarded commies.
Fat vs. Poison, Cancer, Etc.
You decide...
But if you buy food made in China you never know what oil it was made with.
Ahh nasty.
LITTLE JAPAN you almost made me puke.
And my brother was just in China, though thankfully for 2 days..
Better ask him to take a health check just in case...
China, what else is new?
What happen to people how consumed those FAKE oil?! Sick/Handicap/Die?
Omg, why did they do such thing?
Thanks god the Government found out and stop the operation before more people die.
Are there english links of this? Can you imagine what would happen if it was in Chinese? I bet it would immediately get censored!
I've always supported going green and recycling stuff...
But this is far out too much.
All the original reports about China are from Chinese news sites you moron. Maybe the Chinese police posing in the photos and the Chinese watermark gave it away? Hmm?
Thank god I buy all my cooking oil from reliable brands in supermarkets...
You know how evolution works with each new generation becoming more immune to harmful substances? With all the poison and toxic the China population is ingesting, I'd lol if evolution make them a far superior race of humans in the future, immune to all biohazard substances.
Or err, a new race of bad-ass supermutants?
Mikorio - "Thank god I buy all my cooking oil from reliable brands in supermarkets..."
Fine little print at the bottom: Made in China!
@Sukebear - Generations do not become spontaneously immune, they get selected (by not dying) if they already exist(which is unlikely), it's not like each generation would become "more immune"
Does anyone know the business practices of ConAgra Foods? (Aren't they a huge multi-national corporation?) We've used their Wesson Canola Oil before. They're based in Omaha, NB.
I'm just curious...cooking oil is something simple enough that the US could easily make with it's own resources, but we all know much US companies Absolutely Love hiring qualified workers and paying them wages in accordance with the laws of their states right???? They don't import foreign products that are unsafe, or move their operations out of the country to save money. Right??? ;)
:(
India is just as bad but I don't hear anyone talking about them. China bashing is so popular these days.
I got sick after seeing those pictures.
Michelle Phan gets "owned" by Oil! (at 1:10)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPcz-vsOv30
At least they are recycling! ^_^'
*pukes
45$ a ton! I should put it in my diesel car. wth they poison ppl, when they can sell it to rich countries as fuel oO. China double fail.
My aunt told me about this like, 2 years ago. So, it's not a surprise to me.
And to think,
THE COUNTRY IN THIS ARTICLE (meaning China)
is poised to become America's successor as the dominant world power in the next few decades . . .
(shakes head in disgust)
Ummm... just this particular place in China, from what I see in the pictures. It's certainly not the entire Chinese oil production business.
Chinese pork sausage tastes good... Chinese chow mein tastes good...
China=big shit
ive always heard jokes about chinese cooking oil, but wow. never knew they were true..
....That would explain why my Mother and Grandmother told me to "set fire" to cooking oil before use (Could somebody please investigate how Aflatoxins can be broken down? If burning renders them harmless, we could, as suggested earlier, use reclaimed oil as fuel)
Enough toxic material entered his body for a lifetime.
the quality of chinese items is so dam broad. As long as you dont cheap out too badly you should be fine as some chinese products have great quality
That's why you'll never find an international brand by China. Never.
Problem is, you'll never know if THEY cheaped out or not.
You can pay $100 and get a human meat bun, yet it'll taste like a pork meat bun to you.
^ Is that a reference to a classic Hong Kong movie "The Eight Immortals Restaurant: The Untold Story"
...oh wait, the movie was based on a true story.
Soylent green.
@basilio Nonsense, human tastes nothing like pork. Its much better.
Tastes like chicken.
Haha no, don't wanna think about it.
But Sukebear, I actually haven't heard about that movie before. I only heard about the incident from my Chinese teacher. Apparently, some cook had a brother working at a funeral home, and while the cadaver's lying in preparation, the cook brother would steal meat from the buttocks and the thighs, and make them into meat buns.
They play a game of chicken with each other? Hmmm!!!
if you just travel to China for a few days
that might be okay
But live there!?
That's why there's a book titled "來生不做中國人"(someone translate it please= =")
BTW, an article called "中國人幸福的一天" describes many problems in China, take a look (I don't know if there is a translatefd version)
來生不做中國人 = a visitor not (wanting) to become a chinaman
dont want to be a china man in the next live
*fixed
it should be "i would not want to be born in china in my next life"
China man! *horrible background music plays*
SMALL Japan=DAMN Lasty bitch
fuck you
I'd wait until the story is substantiated. Random food scares on chinese state media have happened before. There was the 'steamed buns contain cardboard hoax' a while back, which turned out to be BS.
I've actually seen cooking oil recyclers operating in the UK - what they actually do is take excess food oil from restaurants, and reprocess that into fuel oil. It doesn't really seem to make biological or chemical sense to make cooking oil from sewage.
In China: if it could me made to taste like food, look like food, then it could be sold as food. Consequences are irrelevant until someone dies or is discovered by a another party.
Clearly people here are content to rely simply on their prejudices, and uncritically chow down on shit of a different variety.
.......... You...
Look at the bloody pictures. Even it it wasn't cooking oil, wth would you be doing straining liquids like that from garbage? Garbage soup? You'd hopefully be trying to get 'water' in a plant not straining liquids by hand.
We don't even know if the pics are related.
As for straining for stuff from sewage... actually people sometimes make fertiliser from that stuff.
>>. It doesn't really seem to make biological or chemical sense to make cooking oil from sewage.
It makes FINANCIAL sense, that's all that matters.
Those yellow vermin don't give a damn if it kills a few people, they have BILLIONS left.
It makes perfect sense that China is mass-producing biological human chemical time-bombs that self-destruct in front of people like you, releasing radiated gas clouds.

Yeah, the fat in oil is an important nutrient, so it's broken down by enzymes and absorbed. Shit shouldn't contain much undigested fat, so I don't see how it could make economic sense to try to harvest it to make oil.
What a fucknut, crawl out of your freaking hole sometime.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2009-11/17/content_8986419.htm
It's been going on for over a year.
That wasn't a BS story. The Chinese government covered it up.
Gak!
Too shocked that I can't recover. I already lost my apetite.
China did it again...
lol and on that subject
are they planning on getting super powers with using toxic sewage as cooking oil
or theyre finally getting to their senses and wiping their race off from the face of the planet
mind you there are Chinese all around the world other than in china solely.
don't group us all as one and together and screw u for your racist remarks.
Everyone's a little racist and the 'wipe off the face of the earth/nuke' comments have been thrown at every ethnicity lol.
White subhuman chimps need to be exterminated. I think these guys were just experimenting with what whites ate before the Chinese gave them civilization.
Its only in China~
your god has no place here
*sigh*...China.....still trying to kill off your countrymen..?
Lol. And foreigners love Szechuan and other chinese cuisines for that

oh well what a waste i guess ill use all that chinese made cooking oil as my chinese girl large breast titty fuck lotion
*Made in China*
Jessica Rabbit: Oh my god! It's DIP!!!!!
Sums it up just about right.
*faint*
..... thanks god, I've never seen those brands, I'm really gonna puke over that
I know,I ate at the place when visiting my brother,no wonder i was sick for most of the trip,or was it the American pizza?
They were stunned? Really? It's not like they have a very good track record.
Nothing China does surprises me anymore, but that won't stop them from trying.
Most of those who live in China probably don't know they don't have a good record in the world. Or at best afraid to publicly acknowledge they know they suck at it.
No one has a good reputation in the world. Full of brainless shit talking chimps like you.
Thank you for pointing out your failure too.
What happened to you China? You use to be cool.
Hey China still cool, we poop later; later!
when did that ever happen?
Like when? 5~700 years ago?
Before the commies settled in!
Meiling is still cool bro
For now.. *AHahahhahahaahaahaa...*
Diesel fuel as cooking oil would have probably been healthier.
Probably; then again you can make diesel outa used cooking oil, so why not the other way around?
One would amend the idea for recycling but depends what
gaaaah man no just no >__O would not want to eat stuff that bathed in recycled sewage
Ugh... that's just... WHY CHINA WHY??
sakuya has to do something
NO!! Her name is not China!! It's....
....what's her name again??
Hong Meiling, HONG MEILING
Y Sakuya!!!!!
UNless u wanna the japs To Control them LOL!.
SLICE AND DICE!!!!
this only makes china more of a cancer nation
Maybe this will solve their overpopulation problem.
Also, I LOLed at this article.
"trading with a nation in which regulation and business ethics are all but unknown."
Man, don't be a freaking weeaboo.
That thing of "Japan vs EUA" or "Japan vs China" is pure bullshit.
That's not Japan vs China, this is more like "everyone that imports food from China" vs China and I know which I would choose...
WTF are you talking about? Where was Japan mentioned once in this story? This is about China and it's sewage oil.
When Artefact said what you quoted he was talking about the utter lack of industrial regulation that leads to massive pollution and environmental damage, and the fact that they don't seem to give a shit about how much they fuck up there own country.
How does a statement of truth about _China's_ poor transparency and abysmal record for safety regulations make someone a "weeaboo". Last I checked that term was only reserved for white people pretending to be Japanese (like "wigger", but with Japanese instead).
Am I wrong?
I didn't notice any mention of Japan in the article...
I don't think this has anything to do with Japan vs China. It's just an assertion that is readily supported by large amounts of evidence: from copyrights to building codes to health policies, China consistently fails to regulate itself or its businesses.
The ethics which say you shouldn't build a bridge out of trash or make cooking oil out of sewage... just don't exist for some people.
As a chinese,I want to say.The people do this just for the money, the money blind their eyes of conscience.But it not means living china is dangerous .
Yeah, consuming sewage oil isn't dangerous! TAKE A HIKE.
All that bullshit about China becoming a superpower..
Not that incidents of human rights violations by the government don't occur in the land of the free.
Every country has their own blemishes.
The guy was just stating the obvious. If living in China were as dangerous as presumed (which could be the case depending on WHERE in China you live) then certainly they wouldn't have the world's largest population.
The good news here is that the scum responsible will get bullets in the back of their heads. It's certainly more justified than, say, a few years in jail and 100 hours of community service.
Corrupt businessmen, party officials, civil servants and army moguls usually get off scot-free though. The bullets are generally reserved for the common folk.

I'm not a chinese but I'm agree with you!

They sell all of these to neighbour countries so I guess living in China is not dangerous at all
The milk scandal does not agree with you.
From all the stuff i hear i think it is dangerous or atleast more dangerous then most places...
Very true. South Korea was like this until the 1980s. Japan was like that until the 1950s. This kind of malpractice is unfortunately inevitable in developing countries.
no they were not dumbass give proof.
much...
"Significant levels of aflatoxins have been detected, a poison said to be “100 times more toxic than arsenic,” and known to cause growth defects in children and cancer."
and
"... - estimates are that it constitutes a tenth of all cooking oil used in China."
That sounds pretty dangerous to me.
Yeah. What a shame that it's already killed 99% of all Chinese.
Wait... it hasn't? Maybe there's something wrong with the report...
China Does Constitute Of A Huge amount of chinese..
BUT HEY!!!! There Are Chinese Everywhere!!!
if u meant by 99% of chinese being wiped out..
i think u are talking about armageddon on a global scale.. Meteor Anyone?
But you are expose to those more than other place.
Don't waste your time convincing a people on a pro-japanese site about China. Have you ever read anything that's ...ever... positive on this site about China? Ever? There's a thousands of news outlets that provides valid positive things about China, but Sankaku on post those that are negative.
Sankaku on China is Fox on Democrats. Negative slants and angles.
no wonder chinese food taste so dam good

Wow! So in China when you tell some one to "eat Shit and Die!" they really do!
China needs to apply the death penalty more liberally! Those who produce these kind of poisons need to be made an example of!
The only good Chinese food is made in America by Vietnamese.
you have no idea what your talking about asshole... Americunts.. sigh
Technically speaking, long carbon chain is long carbon chain.
If they purify the stuff enough, it'll be just like any edible oil.
This is quite true - sewage after all is treated and reused as drinking water (although there is evidence not everything which should be filtered is filtered - hormones and drug residue for example).
However, a look at the production facilities pictured should probably dispel the notion that a scrupulous modern recycling program is underway - rather it looks as if they are relying on the fact that cooking oil is used at high temperature...
Modern or not, shit is shit.
Companies in the American beef industry have been implementing 'cold-sterilization' by irradiating beef at slaughterhouses and production lines due to agricultural waste (cow shit) tainting the meat. Sure, the meat's 100% sterile afterward, but none of the shit's been removed.
ground beef is 1 of the main source of e. coli poisoning in the US. just saying
It WOULD, but I believe the problem here is that they're NOT.
MADE IN CHINA!
"made in china" lol dat made my day
totally !
embarrassing for us Chinese in Americas. they should at the very least label it as "recycled", cause i'm pretty sure i won't buy it if i knew. but others like it cheap. . .
but i'm pretty sure other industrial countries would do it too if they can.
there is so much fat and grease that is shitted out of each person (depending on the person's diet)
I wouldn't use it for cooking oil but it could be used for bio diesel
figures.
"The news that a tenth of all cooking oil used in China may be made from recycled sewage and laced with toxic contaminants has stunned China."
I'm stunned that it's alfatoxins and not lead. I'm stunned that it's only 10%. But that the Chinese equivalent of the FDA is a complete failure? Utterly non-shocking.
Not that the FDA is any better... read Eric Schlosser's 'Fast Food Nation'. So 10% of China's oil is recycled sewage? American beef, raised on American soil, is about as hazardous as that.
I am NEVER eating anything fried in China
wait till you hear about the water they used in broiling and cooking.
Eat recycled food-it's good for the environment, and ok for you.
"trading with a nation in which regulation and business ethics are all but unknown."
Whether you like it or not, America is like that too with our shitty 'un-American' Federal Reserve.
You are correct sir! Your political and economic insight is very impressive.
A monetary policy you disagree with is exactly analogous to making cooking oil out of shit-water.
At least the Chinese don't have a socialist nigger as a president, amirite?
The Federal Reserve is the only financial body in the USA that is very independent from the government.
wtf i thought Chinese police wore black uniforms.
Really? I always thought they wear green instead of blue.
Nah Green is usually winter clothing If I'm right
Green is the military.
Chinese police uniform is currently a deep blue (almost black) in color. It was introduced around October 2000 in and around the urban areas and then to rural areas. The green uniform for police was used in Hong Kong, which they now have black uniforms now. Generally more autonomous regions have green uniforms for police officers - say Tibet.
Other than that, green uniforms still remains with the army.

SICK!!!
China, what happened to you? Once a symbol of might, intellect and splendor, now reduced to using sewage for cooking oil...
It's easy to say that it is the fault of Westerners and them trying to colonize/economically exploit China, but that was a long time ago. China then had to fight a civil war that, unfortunately, was lost to/won by the Communists.
What is China going to do now?
As Confucius once related- a magistrate can punish 1,000 criminals 1,000 times for their crimes, but a better magistrate destroys the cause of their unlawfulness.
They can try to get rid of all these refineries, but it's not going to stop these, as Confucius calls them, Small Men from attempting again and again to gain profit from other people regardless of the means to that profit.
That's a loaded question.
When you say "China", which China are you talking about? Han-Chinese China of old? Or the same Han in Ming Dynasty that showed first signs of capitalism during the European Medival period and Crusades? Or the Han that was left broken after a 400 years occupation by Manchus until 1911? Or after the ravaged China by the Japanese in 1940's? Or you're just pulling some random facts of "splendor" about China out of your ass, connect the dots and then lumping it to some small time criminal operation in your question?
Yammy ;3
But seriously, China is Completely down the shitter and with its own cooking oil (get the pun ;) )
and I'm sick of it!
although...it makes good news :)
Oh look, more china bashing on Sankaku Complex.
This is actually an informative article. How many people keep their eyes open for Chinese food violation / hazard in the news? It'd be pretty damn sad for China if everyone does it.
Thankfully I don't buy them, but now I know thanks to Sankaku, I'd more careful with buying cooking oil-related item with a made in China label.
I wouldn't mind if they posted other health hazard from other nations once in a while.
Its okay teh chinese are immuned to all kinds of poisons.
eat my pooo~~ poo poo poo, down your throat it goes~~! ooh soo smooth, rough nut clusters cutting at your tounge better open up wide or it's going in your lung!!~~!!!
I guess we don't have to really worry about China being any sort of threat. They seem hell bent on killing themselves.
Absolutely repulsive
note to self never eat anything from mainland china
Now I'm glad my country produces its own cooking oil
"we're the oldest recorded civilization so we have the right to do any stupid thing we want" this is the only thing I take from China's behavior.
Since when were the Chinese the "oldest recorded civilization"?
Excuse me! "The oldest recorded civilization? HAHA!! don't make me laugh! please China don't be so conceited, there are many other cultures much older than yours.
Like?
Well they are arguably the oldest continuous civilization/society. Given that and the fact that they make up 20% of the world population, it would seem that they were doing a few things right regarding lifestyle/reproduction in the past.
So I guess they don't care if they loose a few % of their ppl to genetic diseases.
Ancient Egyptian civilization is the oldest recorded civilization and it was recently discovered that it was much older then originally thought.
"arguably the oldest continuous civilization/society"
continuous being the key word here...
oh yay , go china.
next what you'll have ? sewage water for consumption in a bottle ?
this is literally "eating my shite"
sorry, california beat china to it.

Singapore has Cali beat and they even put it in a bottle.

The Cali system is even more indirect then Singapore's but otherwise is the same system.
Of course there's water recycling on ISS but there you have also have a vapor phase plus every thing new water has which replicates the processes that recycle water on earth.
Yes the water you are drinking now was once mammoth piss.

Faithful translation of Anon 12:16's comment by a non-Japanese speaker:
"Guys, guys (and ladies). Don't feel disgusted by this practice. This is simply the primitive way of recycling oil. By the way, I love hentai!"
It will be not faithful at all. What you say is confused. You seem not to be able to process information correctly by eating the oil of drainage too much.
hide1000 you're a fucker.
you're right, im a fucker, not a fuck-taker =)
FAIL attempt at translation and humor.
You're so retarded, did an overdose of hentai damage your brain? The translation is not faithful at all.
What he means is something along the lines of:
'If this oil is made properly [at higher standards], couldn't it be better than regular stuff [natural oil] on the market? It would probably be a lot more expensive, but people with money might buy it.'
Interesting thoughts. Add to that Anon 13:46's link on *American* recycled sewage water, sanitizing sewage for secondary use could be viable. I mean, if Americans can make recycled sewage that tests cleaner than regular tap water, given the right public opinion and enough funding this oil could potentially be pretty good.
On a side note, Artefact, any info on this oil's smoking point? For culinary interests.
Hey, there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE there.... that 'recycled sewage water' that is put back into the system to drink has been treated, retreated, filtered, refiltered, etc..... sometimes up to 20 times in many different ways and getting down to 'nano-scale' filters that filter out bacteria and viruses.
I highly doubt that was done here.
Actually no, your translation is wrong.
"Won't selling proper cooking oil in the usual way be more profitable in the end? The costs may run a bit high, but people with money would probably buy it, even if it might be a bit more expensive."
They also have plenty of refuse to use since the kids and women just take a dump on any sidewalk they want as well. Really primative cultures.
I wouldn't call 'em primitive. Just really really fucked up. Seriously, I thought it wouldn't get any worse than a bridge made of trash.
I was going to apply for an international internship to Shanghai....now I'm reconsidering that choice, probably going to pick Seoul or Tokyo now...

hmm, poisonous food which is delicious vs poisonous food which is not tasty. what a hard choice..
The Chinese should invest in Soylent Green. The ultimate in recycling and taste!
They need to Invest into Improving Water treatment plants.
"regulation and business ethics are all but unknown"
China's questionable regulations and business ethics are probably better than nothing.
It`s not a fresh thing in China, I`ve heard about this about..somewhat 3 or more years ago..
GAH!! CHINESe..oh wait.. i'm one too.. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--------------------
It's official. We have to bomb China.
Yea lets bomb China, than complain later than everything has gone up by 10x the price.
I bet the bombs u use are made in china too and prolly wouldn't explode
it will explode as soon as you fire it.
poop bombs
And yet China is upset about some cheaply made HP laptops. Which--ironically--were likely MADE in China.
Let's face it, China is the new Mexico when it comes to quality.
Mexicans still have some sense of pride and care about public safety they won't allow HFCS in the soft drinks for example.
In fact, for a while here in Mexico we had some problems with meat contaminated with clembuterole, and we pushed as hard as we could to get it removed.
It failed though, so nowadays absolutely noone here eats liver :S
The richest person on Earth in 2010 is a Mexican. Just saying...
old news
check out ChinaSMACK.
This is widely used in China, so it's a common thing.
sewage as in gutter!
very very cheap that's why people use em.
i just hope the police crack down on those people who makes them.
I live in China, my family only buy imported cooking oil now. I don't go to restaurant if it's unnecessary. Everything could be poisonous. You never know what may happen in the next second. Those people are slaves of money, they have no sense of morals at all, what they think is how to reduce the cost as much as possible, how to get more money in the fastest way. Who cares about your health and life? Who cares if you die or not? They will never admit their guilty if you don't show the evidence.
Today's China is full of fakes, for the government, faking helps the country "develop" quickly because it saves their investment in researching. So if you don't make big trouble, they will let you go. The government took action this time just because it's been exposed, and what about those haven't been exposed? Nobody knows.
Lol guys get out of your freakin closet and give us a name istead of stay "Anonymous"
Since you live in China etc, and i assume you are chinese, then you should know the chinese phrase "一切都往钱（前）看".(and for those who dunno chinese, the translation is more or less "Money is everything", but the thing here is the word money have the same pronunciation as forward, so original is "We have to look toward the future" sorry for my bad translation, but i do use DANEglish;). and incase u dunno what a DANE is, then its a Danish dude from Denmark ;).)
But as you said, Government won't do shit till they are exposed, cause there is money in it.
"So if you don't make big trouble, they will let you go. " ehmm.. isnt that the opposite?
Cough Cough, what do you expect from cheap prices. If you want stuff which aren't shit, prepare to pay for a lot more of everything.
Human are all the same, we want MONEY, at all cost. Can't you see those large corporations ripping people off just to earn more for themselves, these people are no different.
obviously you have no inkling about the motivations for CAPITALISM.
@N3lt I think what he meant was that, only if u screw up big time like the sanlu melamine in milk incident where it was exported overseas as well and caused deaths, you are likely not persecuted for these relatively lower profile crimes. the milk incident has wide overseas coverage and thus the government is forced to investigate and take action.
If that cooking oil is made really made of sewage and really 100 times more poisonous than arsenic, the oil must be really well filtered or fake. If this is true, kudos to them. Now, if only they can find a way to convert that gunk into a good alternative to petroleum fuel...
Yes, if it's really true, and the average Chinese has eaten from more than say, 10 sources, then China is a wasteland of the dead. Seems implausible.
You might be able to use that stuff as 'biodiesel' in an older diesel car might work, though I suspect you'd need to mix a bit of normal diesel in to get it to burn with enough vigour.
WOOOOOTTTTT, SHORT... opps, LONG LIVE CHINA!!!
Read the real problem of china in chinese proverbs style xD
1-"A person is blessed once, but his troubles never come alone."
2-"One generation is worse than one's generation."
3-"Wealth does not pass three generations."
4-"If the wind comes from an empty cave, it's not without a reason."
5-"Not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also."
6-"A spark can start a fire that burns the entire prairie."
7-"No one knows a son better than the father."
8-"A tiger father has no canine sons."
9-"An ant may well destroy a whole dam."
10-"He eats arsenic to poison the tiger."
11-"Fight poison with poison"
12-"Butcher the donkey after it finished his job on the mill."
13-"like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each one displaying his/her special feats."
Btw
"Joke about the present by referring to the past."
Chinese proverbs.
you must have good knowledge in chinese culture, mind putting them up in chinese? could only recognise some in their original chinese form.
my guess:
1 福无双至祸不单行
2 一代不如一代
3 富不过三代
4 空穴来风
5 水能载舟亦能覆舟
6 星星之火可以燎原
7 知子莫若父
8 虎父无犬子
9 千里之堤溃于蚁穴
10 ????
11 以毒攻毒
12 卸磨杀驴
13 八仙过海各显神通
btw 借古讽今
No... I simply cannot believe this one. There are surely better cheap sources of oil, like industrial materials - as if sewage wouldn't leave an immediately noticable taste if it were anything but treated until it was basically inert and a mere shadow of its base material - and how much oil is there in sewage anyway? Water based material would boil off when heated...
Sure it's disgusting, but it's also surreal and nonsensical. This reeks of propaganda.
Well with 1.3 Billion people, maybe this is another one of China's attempts of lowering their population
Oh please, us Taiwanese people has gone through this stage like, in the late '80s.
Basically you go around and collect all the leftovers from resturants claiming to make them into fertilizer, but what you really do is boil them until the oil floats to the top and collect them.
It was pretty big 20 some odd years ago in Taiwan. Then there was a major crack down on the "home-business" and then it was no more...

Oh, China you silly...
If this oil is sold and consumed in China, I do not say anything. However, China must export this oil to foreign countries never.
ah fuck, i recently went to china and had a few of those fried food snacks from the stalls --- oh god
China, the Land of Poison.
Actually China is quite ingenious, who else could think of recycling shit into cooking oil? They should win a Nobel prize for that ingenuity!!!
They also built a half Styrofoam - half Concrete bridge.
It only lasted in service for a few months, but that's another story.
Oh gods, the pictures make this so much worse...
Why do any nations deal with China anymore?
...this is un-fucking-believable.
you retarded scumbag artefact,
do you realize that some of us are having breakfast while scooping trough this site?
i was expecting a pussy gallery, while instead you served me this cold and rather untasty dish.

Oh dear, the P.R.C.C. are at it again.
Let's see how high the death toll goes the time a sudden mass death occurs outside of the P.R.C., due to these products......
see anyone can cook !!XD
omg, so the food i eat everyday in China is cook with this oil?!
this kind of shit is the reason why my family never buys food products that were made in china

你们都是S1的么？
the numbers of elementary errors in the posts above make me wonder how many of them are really chinese in china
don't be so ignorant, visit enough Chinese websites/speck with enough Chinese and you will know those posts are normal.
Since you seems to know so much, why don't you point out whats wrong?
Im not referring to the one above me. I'm just answering his question. u must be fucking kidding if you think I will reply each and every one of those errors to correct their grammatical mistakes.
Old news really if you do google search its a 200 mil a year business.
They make shit they live in shit and they eat shit. The rich all moved to Canada and run the shit from there. The poor...well they die off.
One would be a fool to believe such source especially in sankaku.
Not to mention it's from a racist fuck.
Why don't you migrate to China and eat their food then. Oops, you're already there? Feel so sorry for you:(
Do a search on cooking oil china illegal. It worked with hazard/violation yesterday but not anymore. Associated Free press and English China news sites are the only ones I can locate. It was first reported September 2009.
Although it seems one of the picture is from 2003 based on global times.
Wikipedia link, with sources, in traditional Chinese:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E5%9C%B0%E6%B2%9F%E6%B2%B9 [http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/地沟油]
Just search for "地沟油" to get all the Chinese information on it. Japanese language sources can be found with "地溝油." Image searching will give you all the grotesque pictures you can bear.
This has evidently been going on for some time, but the latest outing was from a Chinese media report on the 18th.
China - what can't they come up with next?
I know this may seem a little shallow but this discourages me from buying Chinese food products from the store, i used to buy Chinese cooking oil ans even if the brand i buy does not use raw sewage, i am not buying it anymore from here on out.
I guess most of you must be too young to remember the aflatoxin scandal back in 2001 when it was found that many brands of US peanut butter contained aflatoxins at well over the permitted levels. All peanut butter contains aflatoxins to some degree or other, it's pretty much unavoidable. The thing is though, are aflatoxins really as bad as people say? The science linking them with liver cancer is still a bit inconclusive, and has only been definitively established in the case of people already suffering from hepatitis B.
who cares about some random substance with some random scientific name.
These guys are making people eat the oily fucking parts of TURDS!
Comparable to Singapore using recycled water?
Its called New Water btw
have you seem the recycle plant and the technology use for New water?
Idea is the same, application of how it is done is different.
they aren't humans anyway
those damn Chinks have involved into something else
racist bastard go fuck yourself
Remember the cardboard rice cakes? They had no rice just cardboard. All the stuff prior and since I don't think I even want any more pets since they all died of 'something' abnormal and strange for conditions. I am all wracked up too like my kidneys are hard from something. The only thing I can see that China can do worse than it has been is using the cook book from the movie about aliens "to cook Man" or whatever the name was. Next thing we will see is, south asian, north asian, russian, american, latin american, on cannabilistic food processed and served by China. It can't get any worse.. can it?
the cardboard thing was a hoax, dumbass, and this isn't sewage- it's waste oil.
if you could make viable oil out of sewage for that cheap it'd be burned as fuel, dumbass.
I wonder why are those policemen handling what should be considered as hazardous materials, with bare hands, not even with simple gloves or safety glasses...
Sometimes things aren't considered as hazardous as it is. Such as garbage collectors wear gloves to collect garbage, shouldn't you also wear gloves when you dump yours?
Just read this on wiki about aflatoxins;
"... humans have an extraordinarily high tolerance for aflatoxin exposure and rarely succumb to acute aflatoxicosis."
That's why they got away with it for so long...
On another note, I'm going to be sick. My diet is (was) primarily imported Chinese food, and now I read this...
holyfuk!~ thats disgusting....
i'll
never
ever
and
forever
buy
another
"made in china"
food
product
again!
my response to those involved with-
the manufacturing of this poison
fuk u *casts Lv146 Chaos attack!*
Well, what will come next?
Recycled Trash, which will be used as Food?
Lets hope not.
美利坚人类的未来和希望 快来拯救我们吧
Don't go giving them any ideas now...
Im surprised, that they didnt came up with this long time ago.
That reminds me of the robot from 'Judge Dredd' as it rolls through an alley saying "Eat recycled food: It's good for the environment, and okay for you."
中国哎
有什麽办法
你们唧唧哇哇的
有本事来解放中国啊
靠你们啦
美利坚人类的未来~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
再过那么十年二十年d..也许可能实现 whahaha
SON OF A BITCH, i'm never buying chinese stuff ever again.
I wonder how much pre cooked chinese food is sold at walmart.
据我所知肯定不多，因为那是你们伟大的阿美利加合众国，自从你们的民主战士解放了北朝鲜、越南、阿富汗、伊拉克、伊朗之后，我们这帮肮脏的中国黄猴子就无比期待你们的民主战士用他们硕大的转基因香蕉来爆中国共产党的小菊花。我们这些下贱的中国黄猴子就靠伟大的阿美利加转基因香蕉了，请快一点，请用力一点，more、more!
oh how i wish the USA people could understand what you say....
那你就翻译给他们呗，美国人有多么了不起，给北朝鲜、越南、阿富汗、伊拉克、伊朗带去了多么“幸福”的生活，世界人民就指望美国人了，美国人才是全地球、全宇宙的未来，中国人只不过是集体吃地沟油的癌症患者，人类的耻辱。这不就是这个网站转载这篇报道的意思吗，看不过的话就来做，有本事你就来干掉这十多亿的人，干掉这个被你们认为是全民吃地沟油的肮脏国家！
自暴自棄 就是如此
More or less so butt hurt they deign not to communicate their frustration to others in order to convey some sort of false superiority. Mostly sarcastic comments about the US.
If other can't understand you, then you're just farting into the wind but you do make others with your opinion and frustration feel slightly better for themselves.
Chinese people crack me up. xD
yeah and we will fuck u up and crack ur asshole 10 meters wide apart.. keep laughing bro
Haha.. ha.. ..ha? Chinese people sure are a lot of cheap talk and empty threats. C:
Unfortunately it's not "only in China", there are similar stories from all over the world where stuff ranging from extremely disgusting to outright toxic have been used in production of human consumables.
And in other parts of the world, where it found out that happened, the people who did that are put into prison for a good long time!
Well, in China they're also put in prison, just that there are too many people to replace them. On the bright side, their death penalty, when used, takes care of some people permanently.
Well, in China someone will be keeled ded for this. There will be others, though.
China is a fucked up place. I still get nightmares over the girl with the growing stomach tumor.
i am totally speechless, currently working in china, and eating all kinds of food here, very cheap food...
i think that is really a food for thought -____-;;
good thing i didnt get sick but i want to know the health risks.
i already know the air over here is really bad and i have cough problem on initial few months, it is better now, but i want to know the long term health implications
This news is about Chinese government find and destory the undocumented oil factory.
This factory is not registered with Chinese government, so they dare use this things to make oil.
Not all factories are like is.
Why the fuck does China do these things?
Seriously. Who looks at cooking oil and says "Hey, this would be cheaper to make if we used Treated Sewage instead of normal ingredients? This takes a step beyond "Bad Business Ethics" and into "Cartoonish Supervillainy".
So I guess the only thing one can say about this is, well, buy your ingredients at a premium, and don't eat at the cheapest fry-stands around.
Also: "Mmmmm, e-coli!"
because it's not sewage. it's re-used oil, essentially.
Bullcrap. Allow me to put it to you simply: would YOU eat cooking oil that was made like this? Hell no, you wouldn't!
Now, cooking oil that DIDN'T go into the sewer? Okay, I can deal with recycling that, after the MULTIPLE filterings that are done on it in the United States, it is reusable!
HOWEVER, not when it went in the fucking sewer!
Consider this... One bowl of rice feeds one person in US, while the same bowl is shared with seven people in China.
As China is embracing capitalism, the gaps between lower class and upper class starts to widen. Higher demands from the rich, plus food shortages equals high prices for simple good. The poor have to come up with ways, however crude, to get the same products.
It's not China as a whole that's doing this. That's why the officials are shutting it down.
Well, *theoretically*, it should not be a problem in terms of biological contaminants, as they -- according to the story -- use high heat in the process, which should kill off anything nasty.
The biological problem I see is re-contamination by little droplets which spattered up and didn't get the full high-heat treatment.
The BIGGEST problem I see is that Chinese manufacturing companies will be dumping all sorts of toxic chemical contaminants into the sewer system, and the "high-heat" process does NOTHING to remove them.
"Don't worry about that hexavalent chromium, we used a paper towel to filter it out..."
So let me get this straight.
It costs half the price of competitive cooking oil.
It's estimated that 10% of China uses it.
Would someone care to point out the glaring flaw in that logic?
Anyone? At all? Bueller?
There are very few sources on this, but there are multiple, and some precedent from a few years ago too...

Awwwwwwww sick!
"Significant levels of aflatoxins have been detected, a poison said to be “100 times more toxic than arsenic,” and known to cause growth defects in children and cancer."
That poor cancer...its going to grow with a defect. :)
Well it certainly reminds me once again than the less I know the less sick I get by going in a store...
Those who said you would never eat another "made in China" product, chances are you may die from starvation quicker than food poisoning.
They'll just shell out more money for the non-MiC food, plenty from elsewhere. Obesity maybe but they won't starve.
China keep topping themselves in ingenuity, good for them. Excuse while I go burn anything made in China.
No wonder chinese food has such a unique taste
they should add a fine print :
May contain traces of Nuts, Crustaceans, Soy, Milk, Shit, etc.
Don't forget the cadmium,mercury,lead,dioxin,and phenol compounds.
so what else is new?
typically China standard level of products.
1 word of advice?
never buy anything "made in china".
just try and find anything of common use thats not made in china
gl
Aaaah..good thing I'm NOT in China.
I see where does Anti-Soda campaign get those grease from.
It took me a moment to process what sewage actually meant...grosss!!!
I wonder if cooking on depleted uranium is healthier?
SHH!! Keep this quiet because you would not want to give our lil communists, Obama and his croonies, any ideas :P.
Because the government is heavily involved in selling cooking oil, right?
...Brilliant.
it's china after all
Holy CRAP! If this is true, some heads are going to roll over in China, literally, I bet!
This totally goes against American standards for cooking oil, and for basically ANY food product whatsoever! Man, I think even if Hell actually existed, this would be sickening to them as well!
They've known about it since 2003, just that new ones keep springing up.
...
...
...
I think I'll be ordering pizza today...
What in the hell is wrong with the Chinese?
jrittt china parah bangets..........
dis show you dam capitalist pigz whie us communist iz better then yu! no fear dis "fuud safeti" tall tail u hamberger men maik up.
Didn't know Chinese talk like Ze Germans
Holy shit just when I thought they could not get any lower.
BTW this is why I avoid any food or soap made in China as if was poison because IT IS POISON.
Awww scared of a little bit of poison are we?
::pukes and shudders::
FUCKIN' SERIOUSLY! First the cooking and eating cats, then pollution, and now eating food cooked in "treated" sewage?!
Treated or not, if there was a national equivalent of a health inspector, China would've been shut down and forced out of business by now!
(...and I thought North Korea was bad enough...)
Chalk up another fail for China.
If Sankaku is your only "reliable" source about China... I might have some swamp land I like to see you.
The users on this site constantly focus on the flaws of China. These racist sons of a bitch Amerikkkunts are too busy eating Artefact's shit to do proper research into the achievements of the mighty Chinese people as well.
Being the basement dwellers they are, they are quite content to eat up bullshit propaganda as they are after all shit eaters.
China Future Superpower 1!!
cool
do want to buy some for my enemies
Have anyone noticed that digital camera used is quite old and antiquated in picture #4 and #5? And there's no year on the "© Record China"? Also that Record China is a Japanese company?
Just saying... Well back to eating E.Coli beef.
<_< China is fucking gross
没你妈逼恶心
better than your mom's puusy
OH~FUCK YOU MOM
Leave it to the Chinese to make doo doo into something worth selling, damn they are good!
CHINA PRIDE!! China Quality!!!
MIC Represent!
...eat shit and die?
Jeez, China, it's just a phrase.
Yes totally, every single Chinese cook with this oil, totally, all 1,400,000,000 of us. Don't ever use anything made in China again please, because its made in sewage.
Again, problem caused by a small group of bastards wanting to earn $$$ somehow represents the whole China now (eyes rolling)
im getting fed up with this logic at sankaku. Artefact please post some shits about other countries plz.... -w-
Again, problem caused by a small group of bastards wanting to earn $$$ somehow represents the taste of whole China now.
Typical Sankaku \^o^/
This is not much different from what happened in the UK after the industrial revolution. Hell, the Chinese working class now is probably better off than the European at the time... Capitalism at its finest, as another anon wrote.
This is no different to the things a hill billy would do in US.
For one thing, there are no 'hillbillys' in the US. The myth of southern ignorance is widespread and stereotypical.
Don't believe everything you see on TV.
Here we go again. Artefact and his posse or anti-Chinese whores slandering the name of good people living in harsh conditions.
Say, you wouldn't happen to enjoy laughing at Pakistanis, Indians and Africans' expenses would you?
I think not because you are after all a racist scum.
China shall bring these poor citizens out of the ditch and into the light. But first, we have to re-implement more of the socialist ideas that gave initial birth to this great nation of ours by equalising the wealth a bit.
Socialism is good, socialism is good!
In socialist nations, the people have high status.
Overthrow the reactionaries. Imperialism flees with its tail between its legs.
The entire nation is in great unity and has raised the socialist construction to a new height, to a new height.
Socialism is good, socialism is good!
The people protect the socialist system.
The popular capacity is solid, the resistance of reactionary cliques is completely futile.
The socialist society will definitely succeed, a communist society will definitely be achieved, will definitely be achieved!
The Communist Party is good! The Communist Party is good!
The Communist Party is a good leader for the people.
It holds its promises and works of any heart for the people.
Firmly anchored to the Communist Party, it is necessary to complete, complete the construction of our great fatherland!
The Communist Party is good! The Communist Party is good!
The Communist Party guides China on the way of the power.
The popular capacity is solid, the resistance of reactionary cliques is destined to fail.
The socialist society will definitely succeed, a communist society will definitely be achieved, will definitely be achieved!
lol
fuck you and fuck china
this is so damn funny, u all argue about all this without reliazing everthing is made in china. look all ur clothing, hardware n anything else that u regularly buy at store. n for ur racist faggots u need to grow up.
