§ 112925 Olive Oil Quality Standards

• •You can't sell olive oil if it has too much bad stuff (more than 5% free fatty acid).
• •If the olive oil is bad, you have to ruin it so no one can eat it before selling.
• •This rule is to keep people from eating spoiled or low-quality olive oil.

A store tries to sell cheap olive oil that tastes sour because it went bad.

The store can't sell this bad olive oil unless they first add something to it to make sure no one can eat it, like turning it into soap or fuel.
