Moderators, This may be misplaced,so feel free to move. (moved from CP soap)

I thought i would check out the restaurant supply shop for bulk oils and found the prices to be pretty reasonable so i ordered some. When they arrived the ingredients were not what i expected. They all had either TBHQ or Silicon Dioxide in them.

I have read a few posts where people use oils from these supply stores and am wondering if this is common with supply stores or maybe just the one i went to.

Hmm...that's interesting to know there's added ingredients...I bought Pomace Oil from Gordon Food Service and it doesn't have anything else listed in the ingredients. :think:

That's different.
I've picked up oils from our local restaurant supply warehouse & there were no extra ingredients.

Did you order yours online? If so, can I ask for a link?

This store has nutritional value pages that you can view, at least for the coconut oil that they sell. The 35 pound solid coconut oil works out to 7 cents per ounce before shipping and the 50 pound tub works out to 8 cents an ounce before shipping.

Thanks MaitriBB, im going to see if my local supply can get some of these oils. Too bad i use unrefined coconut, that price is fabulous.

Genny, I went directly to the physical warehouse.

What type of oils were they Bodhi? I would expect additives in shortenings, but not other types of oils.

All of them except the palm and coconut, I dont remember the brand names on them.

I have purchased from that store before, but the only coconut oil I can find there is a 50lb tub of butter flavored popcorn oil. Where did you see the 35lb?
