Nearly a tenth of virgin olive oil on the Greek market does not meet quality standards, Deputy Development Minister Yiannis Papathanassiou said yesterday. Inspections conducted on 400 olive oil samples by Hellenic Food Authority (EFET) officials revealed that 91 percent conformed to existing quality standards, the minister said.

The most cases in which the oil did not meet standards were during tests on virgin olive oil (22.1 percent). According to Kathimerini English Edition Newspaper
