Edible Oil Inspection in Turkey
Turkey is an established exporter of olive oil from the Aegean and Marmara regions and one of the main suppliers of refined sunflower oil to the Middle East and Africa. Grade fraud, oxidation and contamination in bulk transport are the main risks buyers manage.

Each guide covers regions, season, quality parameters, sampling, laboratory testing, risks and the pre-shipment procedure.
Production across Turkey
Edible Oils in this guide come from 15 provinces across 5 geographic regions. We plan inspector travel around the harvest calendar.
Coverage across TurkeyHow we sample and inspect
Bulk oil is sampled from tanks, flexitanks or ISO tanks at defined levels or as a running sample during loading, in line with FOSFA rules or the contract. Packed oil is sampled by carton using ISO 2859-1. Samples are taken in clean, sealed, light-protected containers.
