Plastic contact occurs in both the production and packaging stages.<\/p>\n Second, because mineral oils are a products of crude oil production, the origin of the oil is undetermined as it its precise chemical composition given unknown and variable production and packaging.<\/p>\n Both of those reasons violate our protocol to eliminate both known and unknown sources of contamination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For treating wooden cutting boards, in our dietary intervention lab\/kitchen, we used olive oil packaged in glass from a local supplier who has minimal plastic components in their oil-making mill.
