【Processed Food Series🍶】For Dog Lovers🐶! Exploring the Safety and Benefits of Olive Oil🍃
🫒 History and Production of Olive Oil
・Olives, originally from the Mediterranean coast, have a rich history spanning 6,000 years.
・Unlike other oils extracted from seeds using heat or chemicals, olive oil is produced by directly pressing the fruit's pulp.
🌍 World vs. Japan's Quality Standards
・The International Olive Council (IOC) classifies olive oil into 9 categories.
・Japan, not being a member of the IOC, defines it as "edible olive oil" under the JAS Law, without formal distinctions like "extra virgin."
🫒 Extra Virgin vs. Pure Olive Oil
・Extra Virgin: A virgin oil, without any chemical processing.
・Pure: A blend of refined olive oil with virgin oil.
🐾 Is it Safe for Dogs?
・Generally safe, but beware of excessive intake, potential allergies, and specific effects.
・Extra virgin oil is rich in polyphenols, so moderation is key.
