Taiwanese authorities have taken action against businesses using tainted cooking oil, with the Taipei City Department of Health inspecting 11 downstream vendors. The probe included prominent establishments like the Silks Place Hotel and the National Palace Museum's restaurant, both operated by the Silks Group.

These businesses, along with nine other retail outlets, were found to be distributing problematic oil products supplied by Fwusow Industry and Fwumao Oils. Health officials from Taichung City had initially flagged the issue, prompting the Taipei inspections.

All inspected businesses have reportedly cooperated with the authorities, agreeing to remove the implicated products from their shelves and return them to the suppliers. This swift action aims to prevent further consumption of the potentially harmful oil and reassure the public about food safety standards.
