What the research says
Industrial corn oil extracted from ethanol-biofuel corn mash containing antibiotics and other additives — previously only allowed in livestock feed. Corn Oil ONE attempted to enter the human food supply via GRAS self-determination using an 80-page submission with two unpublished studies and four company-convened experts; their submitted 'molecular structure of corn oil' was actually the structure of the HIV drug Lopinavir, included by mistake. When FDA raised concerns, the company simply withdrew the application — and is free to put COZ into food anyway.
