Do you have a source for this claim? I'm interested since I'm using sunflower oil here in the UK.
Tesco labels its sunflower oil as "pure sunflower oil", it also has an ingredient list of "sunflower oil" [1].
Asda only labels it "sunflower oil", it doesn't have an ingredient list (at least on the website), but it states that the "regulated product name" is "sunflower oil" [2]
From the two the Asda one looks more suspicious, but I don't know what the regulation is. My suspicion is that regulation is for the label "sunflower oil", and Tesco goes out of its way to clarify that it doesn't contain other oils, or otherwise why risk putting "pure" there?
