JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Jelantah, used cooking oil or waste cooking oil, is traded among home-based businesses in the cottage food industry as raw material with minimal supervision in the business ecosystem. The condition poses a risk to consumer health.

A Kompas investigation from 18 Feb. to 13 March 2020 uncovered the practice of trading in waste cooking oil at a number of home-based businesses in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok and Tangerang, which have been engaging in the practice for years. The businesses sell their products for daily consumption.
