§ 112891 Olive Oil Labeling Requirements

• •Olive oil sold in stores must follow the rules in this chapter.
• •If you sell olive oil, the label must be truthful and match what's inside the bottle.
• •This rule also applies to olive-pomace oil (a cheaper kind of oil made from olive leftovers).
• •The law started on January 1, 2012.

You buy a bottle of olive oil at the grocery store.

The label says it's '100% Pure Olive Oil,' but if it's mixed with cheaper oils, the store or company could get in trouble for lying on the label.
