He noted that the Minister of Interior instructed local authorities to ensure that all olive oil circulated in the market is genuine and fit for consumption.
He added that oversight teams, including the Food and Drug Administration, detected the presence of adulterated oil and immediately moved to the location, where 13 containers were confiscated.

He emphasized that public awareness plays a key role in reducing the circulation of fake olive oil and called on citizens to report any suspicious cases to monitoring authorities.
