Pakistan becomes third-largest importer of cooking oil

[Mo12]

That makes us a bigger joke our population is less than half of india and yet we are on par with them when it comes to import! The reason being we always take the easy route and growing and processing quality product is a difficult task so we just lay back and keep importing!

well done on being leaders on importing cooking oil per capita

Why don't you guys use peanut oil ?

But palm oil is the cheapest. And pakistani cooking uses lots of oil. And we dont have that many peanuts. And the few peanuts we have we like to eat them instead of squeezing them dry.

we love to consume trash . desi women can't cook without pool of OIL

 

[Sugarcane]

We should promote our dairy industry and should start using Butter and Desi Ghee instead of these oils. I don't know if we can cultivate olive in Pakistan or not but if we can than we should do it.

Pakistan should grow olive trees. I love oil..Extra virgin Organic and Cold pressed ...

[General General]

New cooking shows could wean the population from unhealthy cooking habits?
And yes, olive oil is not meant for cooking. It has a low Smoke point temperature. Corn oil and rapeseed oil are better as the Smoke point is at a higher temperatures.

This is not for cooking !

It is healthy to eat steamed or oven baked food without oil and then pour a few table spoons of olive like boiled pasta and with olive oil, tuna in tomato sauce, kale soup or smoothie.

Perhaps Pakistan needs to import more cooking oil (and milk) so that such things do not happen:

GUJRANWALA: Punjab Food Authority on Monday raided a cooking oil production factory and sealed it after discovering questionable processes and unhealthy elements in its products.

According to Punjab Food Authority Director Operations Rafia Haider, as many as 50,000 liter of cooking oil was confiscated from the factory after it was found that chicken waste was being used to manufacture the product.

“Chicken intestines, fur and other wastage were being used for the manufacturing process,” she said.

The oil was being used in a number of hotels in the city. Haider said that action will be taken against the hotels.

Earlier, on Dec 29, in the same city, Swedish Dairies' production facility in Gujranwala was sealed.

According to Punjab Food Authority director Badar Munir, certain chemical(s) were being used in the production process of unbranded milk. The team also found fungi, insects, and dirt in the company’s dairy products, he added.

No further development was reported, nor is it known whether Swedish Dairies, which claims to be “the most reliable name” in Pakistan’s dairy industry on its website, responded with any action.

Swedish Dairies is a supplier of dairy products to various bakeries in the locality.

Earlier, Geo News reported that Punjab Food Authority was ordered by the Supreme Court to conduct quality and plant checks of the milk-producing companies in the province, and obtain samples of their products. It also advised the authority to test the samples in a dedicated lab.

The case was resumed on Tuesday. In a report filed by Punjab Food Authority director general Noor-ul-Amin Mengal, it was noted that products made by Haleeb Foods, Acha Milk, Al-Fazl Food, Doce, and Al-Fajr Food are all unsafe.

Formalin – a chemical used in dead bodies’ preservation – along with sugarcane juice was discovered in Haleeb Foods’ milk. Consequently, Al-Fazl Foods lost its production license, Doce Milk faced a suspension and fine, Acha Milk was fined and its production process halted for a week, and Al-Fajr Foods’ factory was sealed.

Justice Saqib Nisar, who is monitoring the case, commented, “If we cannot provide safe milk to children, we cannot do anything.”

Or Implement the law to ensure that such practices are not tolerated. Self reliance should be the goal.
