75% of Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oils Failed Standards Test!

Fact: "Nearly three-quarters of samples of top-selling imported extra virgin olive oil brands failed to meet international standards for extra virgin olive oil according to a new report by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and in Australia. The oils failed from one of the following reasons: Being oxidized, poor quality, and/or adulterated with cheaper refined oils."
