China has a wide variety of edible vegetable oils, among which soybean oil, peanut oil, and sunflower seed oil are regarded as the most important categories. The current national standards have been in implementation for 15 years.

Recently, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the "Notice of the General Office of the Administration on Further Strengthening the Supervision and Management of Edible Oil Food Safety in Catering Service Units" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), which will severely crack down on the illegal recycling and use of waste oil crimes to effectively protect the people's food safety.
