The size of edible oil bottles has been cracked by unscrupulous traders.

The public buys cooking oil and is accustomed to comparing prices. However, many people do not know that the same is a nominal 5 liters of edible oil. If you go home to a bargain, you may have a difference of 0.6 kg.

The edible oil of 5 liters is allowed to have a maximum error of 0.2%, plus an empty bucket weight of 0.14 kilograms, peanut oil has a minimum gross weight of 4.7 kilograms, soybean oil is 4.725 kilograms, sesame oil is 4.69 kilograms, and rapeseed oil is 4.68 kilograms. The oil should be measured in proportion to about 4.7 kg.

What is the concept of 0.6 kg of oil?

The density of the oil is less than that of water, which is equivalent to less than 600 milliliters of oil and can fill a beer bottle.

However, if the oil is so poor, it can be seen by consumers. Who will buy this oil?

The survey found that because these "poor oil" oil pot change compared to the common oil pot, without careful comparison, ordinary consumers find it difficult to find the trick

According to measurements, the normal oil pot "waist circumference" (circumference) is about 52 cm, while the "poor balance oil" oil pot is only about 50 cm, the oil pot becomes smaller, and consumers find it difficult to see the problem of actual oil shortage.

The country has no uniform regulations on the size of edible oil bottles, and the size of oil pots of many manufacturers is always changing. Some business households have reported that in the past year or so, the pot loading oil sent by a certain manufacturer in Jiangxi has become smaller and smaller, and sometimes even every other month there is a change in the oil pot, and the low-cost oil, which is usually two pounds less, is Use a "slimming" package.

"Poor scale" has become a market open secret profit to the retailer, the behavior is suspected of fraudulent consumption

A pot of oil 0.2-0.6 kg less, how much money can make? Who earned the money? The industry and commerce department survey found that in the interest chain of production and sales of “differential oil”, the profit was given to retailers.

Although the wholesale price of edible oil has fallen by almost half this year compared to the highest in the past year, there is still a lot of room for profit through a small amount of shortfalls. The domestic wholesale price of soybean oil 6800 yuan / ton as an example, manufacturers produce a pot of 5 liters of "short pound" soybean oil, the maximum "saving" 4 yuan, a box (4 bottles) is 16 yuan. According to the estimate of 5000-1 million cases of annual sales of medium-sized edible oil companies, at least a net profit of RMB 8-16 million can be achieved.

Market operators said that it is impossible for manufacturers to make such a lot of money, and that manufacturers who produce “poorly-balanced oils” cannot afford wholesalers.

Wholesalers will not make money from “differential oil”, and often add 1-2 yuan to the external sales on the basis of the purchase price. “Differential oil” is often a second-tier brand or no-name brand and can only rely on low-price and fast-selling.

The real money maker is the retailer. The "differential oil" with a price of about 30 yuan per pot can be sold in the retail market at 40 yuan - 45 yuan, and a pot of oil can make more than 10 yuan.

Why are the weights different? It may be that the tube's tube embryo is not the same. It is said that different tube embryos can cause the bottle weight difference to reach about 25 grams.

The national standard states that 5 liters of oil is measured in units of volume, not by weight. In terms of the quantity of oil, the state allows a positive and negative error (0.2%), and this error is not checked by a single bottle, but for each batch, as long as the final total of the oil can be obtained. The head is over. For example, if you make 10 tons of oil a day and do 1000 boxes, there are probably 500 boxes, but 500 boxes have passed. That's still saying that this batch is considered qualified. Each year, the technical supervision department must conduct random inspections without saying any problems. In addition, there is the problem of oil temperature, the temperature is high during production, the same is 5 liters, the weight difference is also large.

Many companies have 5 liters of oil, not even 9 pounds. The error of their business is still small, many brands in the market are 4.5 liters of 5 liters of the target, dumping at low prices, disrupting the market order.
