Exactly my point. This is something that cannot be done by the average consumer. 1010RD says, "let the buyer beware", this is something I agree with most of the time but the "buyer" would need a chemistry set and a degree in chemistry to figure out what is in their olive oil.
Or go with the International Olive Oil Council standards, and not buy a product that doesn't have their imprimatur.
But that's not a federal government agency, so that doesn't mean anything to the statists on FR.

BTW way - I switched to grape seed oil some time ago.
It’s lighter, no real taste, higher burn point and doesn’t go rancid like OO does...and rancid OO is far from healthy.
