That Chinese cooking oil you brought is probably be fine. It's probably not the product of a certain illegal operation, as reported by chinadaily.com:

More than 100 tonnes of such oil, made from leftovers dredged from gutters behind restaurants, were seized after busting a criminal network spanning 14 provinces, the ministry said.
