SUPERMARKETS are selling phony imported olive oil in their house-brand lines.
An investigation by The Weekly Times has revealed samples of Coles and Woolworths house brands of premium or "extra-virgin" olive oil failed to meet the Australian standard for extra virgin.
The testing for The Weekly Times has revealed:
THREE brands - Coles' brand Spanish import, Italian giant Lupi and Australia's biggest-selling brand made by Spanish company Moro - selling inferior oil falsely labelled as "extra virgin".
SAMPLES of all three of those brands were found to be "rancid" by the testing laboratory.
