Microbiological characteristics
Our refined oils and fats comply with the microbiological criteria for foodstuffs according to Directive
(EC) 2073/2005.Please note that refined oils and fats undergo a sterilization step and are then not
susceptible to the growth of microorganisms due to the low water activity levels in commercially
available refined oils and fats. Oils and Fats are deodorized according to FEDIOL Code of Practice
(min 180°C for min 2 hrs), which effectively eliminates microbiological activity.
