In the industry, oils and fats refer to substances made from natural or synthetic materials and used for a variety of purposes. Oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil and palm oil are widely used as raw materials in the production of food and personal care products. Fatty substances such as cocoa butter, coconut oil and palm fat are used to produce chocolate, cosmetics and personal care products.

The quality of oils and fats is often determined by the composition of the fatty acids, impurity content, smoke point, shelf life and taste and odour profiles.

It is important to regulate the production and processing of oils and fats to ensure quality and protect health and the environment. This means that regular inspections, checks and tests are conducted to ensure quality and safety.
