Jordanian authorities in Irbid seized roughly 5,000 tins of olive oil described as adulterated. The operation led to a police case involving the confiscated stock. The syndicate said the seized oil was not supplied by its members. It called on authorities to pursue traders linked to the adulterated product. The syndicate's statement separated its members from the alleged misconduct while directing attention toward the trading network. The method used to adulterate the oil was not explained. The brands involved and any possible health risks were not addressed. The dispute now centers on who supplied the oil and how investigators will trace those responsible.
