  Thanks Chiga, exactly what I was thinking. How does one identify palm oil containing this chemical? I hope authorities will inform the general public about how to identify this chemical in palm oil.

  The FDA should be conducting continuous checks all over the country and confiscate all contaminated palm oils. The sources of where they are produced should be traced to acertain who adds these dangerous chemicals, whether the original manufacturers of the palm oil or the middlemen or the market women. It should be a matter of national urgency.
