Vegetable oils are among the most important contributors of mineral oil to the total dietary intake and according to EFSA (2025) most edible oils are contaminated with detectable amount of

Vegetable oil with complex matrix contains a lot of oils and a variety of fatty acids, and chemical properties of different types of pesticide residues are quite different.

Conclusion Mineral oil contamination in food is a pressing concern for the food industry, given the potential health risks associated with these compounds. While regulatory bodies continue to refine safety standards,

Contamination of vegetable oils with mineral oil may come from environment, crop protection, production process, or transport and storage. The European Commission set a

The contamination of food by mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOHs) found in packaging is a long-running concern. A main source of MOHs in foods is the migration of mineral oil from recycled
