Used oil is taken from sewage, oil separators and waste from slaughterhouses and then “processed” and sold as cooking oil. Screenshot YouTube video @RFAVideo Photos from the video from Radio Free Asia (RFA), filmed by Max Fischer from The Washington Post, show a woman in Shenzhen extracting “hogwash” from sewage that will go to the factory for “processing”, where it is filtered or boiled.

Besides being really disgusting, it contains carcinogens and other toxins, they point out. China has been fighting against this practice, and this month a man from the city of Lianyugang was sentenced to life in prison for the production and sale of ‘gutter oil’, the Xinhua agency reports.
