Re: How do I tell if coconut oil is spoiled

[Guest guest]

Quite frankly, SaraLou, I've used VCO for over twenty years. I store

it on the kitchen floor in a corner, and buy it online from two or

three distributors.

NEVER has any gone bad!

I'd find other things to be concerned about...

Oh, I opened it and have started using it, just wondered...Thx for your

reassurance, Chuck.

I've never had any go bad either but usually I don't have dates or keep

a pail this long. I think I may have yet another pail also. I'd bought

two with some fire insurance money I got (the old third of a pail might

maybe could have had some pail plastic from all the smoke in the house

according to the insurance adjustor). Finished it up and ordered. They

were leaking when UPS delivered them so WFN said they'd send another

just in case the leak meant contamination. I am grateful. I seem to use

about 5 gallons every 15 months or so.

How does one tell if the oil has been extracted using only an expeller process

or one that uses chemicals?...I have been using some from an India - Indian

market...

brand name is 'Swad' ~ there is no info on the jar label regarding the process

of extraction nor is it designated as organic or virgin - let alone extra

virgin...I only use it on my skin...it comes in glass and I like that...but am

concerned it may be less than the really good stuff...iut sometimes has

'granules' in it...

In this case, D, there were labels--and WFN is pretty reputable. slp
