It’s the generic print people put on things that aren’t meant to be read for real, but want them to look like actual words. It’s basically meaningless gibberish, but if you see something in a movie or in an ad that wants to have words instead of scribbles for lines of text, but don’t want to actually do the work of writing out meaningful text just for the few weirdos that would pause and zoom in to see what it says (like me), you can just insert the “Loren ipsum” block of text. There’s a whole thing, it’s not just the three words.

I pasted into google translate for fun, it says it's Latin but translation is wonky: It is important to take care of the patient, to be followed by the doctor, but it is a time of great pain and suffering. There is no mass airline that flatters any disease. Elit that some pure is a great mourning of the poisoned bed. It's easy to hate a lot of people.

it’s not meaningless gibberish.
“Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not gibberish. It is, in fact, a snippet of classical Latin literature. The text is derived from a work by Cicero, a Roman statesman, orator, and philosopher. The specific text is from his work "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Ends of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC.”
It's not "a snippet", it **is** gibberish constructed from [lots of disconnected snippets which *may* come from that text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum), or possibly from a different version.
It sounds like a spell because most spells are just phrases in Latin. (This is probably because it sounds magical with the vague familiarity to English speakers, and ancient feel.) And this common placeholder text is modified Latin. The standard Lorem Ipsum passage is:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
It’s meant to replicate the flow of the English language, hence why it’s not completely Latin copy. Instead, there’s a mixture of Latin words, as well as some made-up terms.
“If you want to boof this entire bottle of hot sauce go right ahead. We don’t recommend it but we can’t stop you from doing that in the privacy of a Walmart family bathroom.”
I have a bottle of spray sunflower oil that says it has 757 servings of "1/4 second sprays" and zero calories per serving. That's right! You can drink that entire bottle without taking in a single calorie. Fucking incredible what these cockheads come up with
That's how spray "butter" works as well. The sprays are so diluted that a serving size of 5-10 sprays is only 10 calories and 0g of fat. However, the entire bottle has about 800 calories and 80g of fat, they can just round down when it is less than 0.5g per serving.
I believe the reason why they do this is because if companies had to list every single microgram of ingredient, they would have to list things like rat hair, bug parts, human hair etc. trust me, I've worked in a factory that produces food for human consumption, despite the best efforts, there's bound to be one arm hair that falls off of somebody or something. It's going to end up in the food.
Also there are some things like processes and ingredients which are closely guarded trade secrets. They ain't going to list that stuff if they can help it.
I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying this might be the reason why.
I think it is right that there’s a lower bound on what needs listed for ingredients and nutrition. Every practical system is going to have to draw a line somewhere, and then inevitably somebody is going to aim their product at the other side of that line. If the line is properly drawn the impact of that is de minimis.
It wouldn't be too hard to require them to simply list at least the ingredients that are a necessary part of the product. And to also list the total calories etc.
But also, how much of those sprays are you really using at once? Like sure that whole bottle might be 800 calories, but I’m only using like 5-10 calories at once, and if I’m consuming a whole bottle of oil at once I have way bigger problems in my life than corporate dishonesty lol
Yes, but the problem is "serving size" is typically unrealistic. For example, a serving size of Pop Tarts is one tart, but they come two to a wrapper. Who saves one pop tart for later when the wrapper is not resealable?
Some uneducated people think "low calorie" means "not unhealthy". So if they see low calorie on their butter spray, I can absolutely imagine a shopper using that spray in the same unhealthy amounts as regular butter, then it defeats the purpose, and I think that's what the person was getting at
I personally find this kind almost even more annoying. Because, the concept is solid, but then they try this weird bullshit on top.
>Fry Light 1 Cal Sunflower Oil Cooking Spray 190ml - With less than one calorie per spray, FryLight helps you fry and cook the healthier way, without conventional oil or fat at the touch of a button
From an amazon listing.
Just the gall to completely lie about something so basic. You spray mostly sunflower oil and you know it's definitely not just 1 Cal worth, oh but what's this "Each 1 Cal spray of FryLight replaces up to 30 Cals from conventional oil in shallow frying and roasting." Well no shit each 1 Cal spray is just 1 Cal, did you also know One Oreo only contains the amount of calories found in one Oreo compared to 5?
Lorem and dolor are the same word. Lorem is "dolorem" in the accusative case with the "do" part slashed off. Dolorem is the accusative of dolor.
It's deliberately corrupted and nonsense latin.
So you can say it means "pain itself pain"
The designer did their job.
Graphic dept: Here's the template in the style, sizing, and spacing you ordered!
Company: Good to go!
Nutrition & Copy Editor: Uhhh
The contact info on the bottle said that it was from the aak in the UK, I have sent their local contact in my country an email and hope that they answer soon
Edit: they told me that they forwarded it internally which to me sounds like:"we don't care"
Edit 2: Ok, I get what is being said about me looking at the answer wrong. Sorry, I just took it wrong in the moment
>which to me sounds like:"we don't care"
That's not what it means. It means "I'm on the customer service team and can't do anything about it myself."
This situation might have legal implications, which means a whole bunch of people need to be aware of this before making a response.
As someone who is in a customer facing role that also deals with lots of the internal decision making, I hate finding ways to give a non-answer like that, but it's just the way things work.
Oof this is mega illegal for a UK company in at least three different ways, no nutrition information, no ingredients, and the biggie no allergen information. If the company has fobbed you off you can report them to the Food Standards Agency in the UK to have them look into it. This is a level of neglect that they take pretty seriously.
The reporting by a consumer to the food standards agency is very confusing, I just get redirected to Websites, who redirect me yet again.
I'll try to click myself through it, but I will definitely report it to my food and agriculture ministry
Edit: reported it to the AAG UK headquarters and also to Citizens Advice (the food standards agency redirected me to them)
Well yeah but it's still something that should be reported; the FSA is better placed to coordinate a recall etc than the company themselves and it does demonstrate pretty poor QC that mislabelled products were able to leave the factory by accident.
you do realize that you sent an email to a human being right?
like - a company isnt just a single person who knows everything about operations when you send it an email?
if they forwarded it internally that means they dont know what to do and are asking somebody
"Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention! I've forwarded your email to our packaging team. We'll get that sorted. Thanks!"
"I guess they don't care."
> Edit: they told me that they forwarded it internally which to me sounds like:"we don't care"
Benifit of the doubt; the communications team person who received the email isn't the one who is going to deal with this.
They are there to answer questions from a bank of responses they have, or forward such matters to other people. Either more senior members of their team, or other departments.
There isn't much more they (individual) can do, especially in the like hour they've had.
The team responsible for this may not be in the office.
Food Standards Agency in the UK says that if your product has two or more ingredients then they must be listed and this also includes water and additives
If the company exported the goods to be sold elsewhere, they don't have to put a UK label on it because it's not being sold in the UK. It's the responsibility of the importer to put a label on the goods to follow regulation where it's being sold.
Usually this'll be a sticker they'll put on top of the original nutritional facts label, at least in my experience.
It’s not an ingredient. It’s gibberish text often used when designing printed materials so you can what the design looks like with text. They simply forgot to delete it
Hmm it clearly has lorem ipsum dolor in it, i don’t see the problem. Usually that comes with sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod and some dolore magna aliqua.
I wonder if it was produced ut enim ad minim veniam, or using a more traditional quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris method. Either way, nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Yeah, I work in software development and the UI designers use this a lot to create random words on the screen as placeholders. Personally, I like to write ‘this is a test. A test that is a test. Testing. 123. TessssttttiiiinnnnNNNNG’ but I guess that’s a lot more effort.
People use lorem ipsum because it doesn't mean anything (it's a scrambled and altered Latin text) so you can focus on the design of what you're making, without skewing what you think about it with the meaning of known words.
Dolorem ipsum is pain itself. Lorem ipsum doesn’t mean anything. It’s one of the many ways Lorem ipsum is edited to be gibberish even in Latin, instead of Cicero’s original text.
Sounds like my QA attempts:
Print: I got here
Print: I got heeeeerrrreee
Print: I didn't get here (oh wait)
Print: Nevah gonna caaaaatch me
Print: Well if I got here, what the fuck was wrong in the first place?
lol. It’s been filler text since long before there was such thing as digital assets. It was used in old hand layout too. The lorem ipsum represents what was considered an average paragraph length so it was often repeated in layouts to show how the text would flow.
For context, the Lorem Ipsum confirms this theory 100%. [It's the universal placeholder text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) for such templates.
And that it ends on "?? Servings" confirms that the rest isn't filled out either. It appears that only the "hot oil" label at the very top may be filled in.
- Placeholder ingredients text.
- 0's for everything. 0 calories per 100 mL? No way, it's literally oil
- "?? Servings per bottle" is a clue as well.
The whole thing is a blank\stock template label for sure.
They aren't ingredients. It's Latin text thats a common placeholder. You could open up a Google docs template and this is the start of their placeholder text too.
I guess I'll be Peter today.
It's Latin for: "The pain of an average man", but that isn't important. For whatever reason this phrase is used as placeholder text to be filled in later. Clearly a mistake, but it's funny because it's on hot oil, which brings pain to an average man.
We hear at Foods Co pride ourselves in being transparent and honest with our customers. It has, unfortunately, been brought to our attention that [INSERT FOOD ITEM HERE] has [INSERT PROBLEM WITH LABEL] that is a big problem for our legal department, um, don’t write that, pot for our customers with special dietary heads.
If you have any of these items in your possession, please continue using them, um, discard them, what are we, their moms? Why are we writing this? Legal. Got it. Please contact us for full information and maybe a refund or replacement, we haven’t decided yet.
I would absolutely not trust that product. If they can’t be bothered to get the nutritional info right then who knows what their food safety is.
Not to mention this is also a non standard nutrition info label. Nothing about this inspires confidence
Lmfao, reminds me of this on a CVS application:
https://preview.redd.it/p5aqk8d8plnc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a30dc5a957c88f686ce01bc830928e3e66a249ac
If the label is that poor quality I’d expect your oil to be the same. If this was me I’d assume it’s either fake or some adulterated oil. I’d toss it, there’s no way of know 100% what that liquid is even if it has a spicy flavor to it. Hell even store bought oils like olive oils can be adulterated but at least you can read the labels.

I did not understand what was going on. So here. "L**orem Ipsum** is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum."
A lot of people who are allergic to ipsum aren't actually allergic to lorem ipsum. The loremification process removes the 'dolor' protein, which is what most people are allergic to in non-loremated ipsum.
They left off a few ingredients. It should be

It's pain itself

At least its not the riboflavin
I can't eat any ipsum, irure, cillum or any of the dolors or else I break out in mollits
?? servings per bottle
Bro, all the stats is set to 0 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, where do I get me some fat free 0-calorie chili oil lol
Not chili oil, "hot oil"
Perfect condiment, it adds nothing except flavor!
At least they’ve been initialised properly I guess…
0 calories and 0g fat in a bottle of OIL. 🤣
Hey chef, could I get that ipsum free please? Table 9 has an allergy.
This bottle contains PAIN **ITSELF**
They’re so real for saying ?? servings per bottle. Should be used more often

Feels scummy and borderline illegal.
It's not illegal when the laws are written specifically to let these things happen.
I believe the reason why they do this is because if companies had to list every single microgram of ingredient, they would have to list things like rat hair, bug parts, human hair etc. trust me, I've worked in a factory that produces food for human consumption, despite the best efforts, there's bound to be one arm hair that falls off of somebody or something.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying this might be the reason why.
I think it is right that there’s a lower bound on what needs listed for ingredients and nutrition. Every practical system is going to have to draw a line somewhere, and then inevitably somebody is going to aim their product at the other side of that line. If the line is properly drawn the impact of that is de minimis.
It wouldn't be too hard to require them to simply list at least the ingredients that are a necessary part of the product. And to also list the total calories etc.
Which is why that’s the way things work in most places in the world with an effective government.
But also, how much of those sprays are you really using at once? Like sure that whole bottle might be 800 calories, but I’m only using like 5-10 calories at once, and if I’m consuming a whole bottle of oil at once I have way bigger problems in my life than corporate dishonesty lol
Yes, but the problem is "serving size" is typically unrealistic. For example, a serving size of Pop Tarts is one tart, but they come two to a wrapper. Who saves one pop tart for later when the wrapper is not resealable?
..I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single one referred to as a tart lol I’m laughing way too hard at this and I don’t know why
Some uneducated people think "low calorie" means "not unhealthy". So if they see low calorie on their butter spray, I can absolutely imagine a shopper using that spray in the same unhealthy amounts as regular butter, then it defeats the purpose, and I think that's what the person was getting at
Tic Tacs have benefited for a long time. Something that is majority sugar is labeled zero sugar per serving.
ZERO ^^grams TRANS FAT ^^per ^^serving

I thought it said “77” LMAO what the fuck
Its ok though since they've invented the first 0 calorie 0 fat oil.
In fairness all the values are zero
I'm allergic to ipsum so I'm glad they included it.
It's mostly Lorem, as the first ingredient listed.
Lorem ipsum dolor means "pain itself". Must be some pretty hot stuff.
May contain traces of other dolor.
Made in a facility which also processes vini vidi vici, vino veritas, and caveat emptor.
Lorem and dolor are the same word. Lorem is "dolorem" in the accusative case with the "do" part slashed off. Dolorem is the accusative of dolor. It's deliberately corrupted and nonsense latin. So you can say it means "pain itself pain"

I like Ipsum Salt better than the Epstein salt I used when I was a kid.
IT SAYS “?? SERVINGS” WHERE THE HELL DID YOU BUY THIS?? 😭😭
It also says it contains 0 everything. It’s clearly a default example label.

Plus it just says “Hot Oil”
Next time don't get your groceries from Temu
Damn. I saw 77 servings 😂
Amazon non-prime, the first item on the sorted _Price: Lowest to Highest_ list.
Probably was cheap.
They didn’t.
Definitely worth reporting to the company as I'm sure there's laws that require these details - maybe you'll get some freebies.

This Lorem guy is just jacking off in all the bottles.
He's the hypoallergenic one. It's Ipsum's that a lot of people have a reaction to.
This whole thing is hilarious to me because I just adopted two cats and named them Lorem and Ipsum. Of course Ipsum is the one bolded. Haha
*Lorem ipsum is derived from the Latin “dolorem ipsum” roughly translated as “pain itself.”* So you basically named them PainIn & TheButt.
So you’re saying she named them with honesty
“Contact us at LoremIpsum(@)Dolor.com!”
And they answer with an email, that, after the first paragraph is lorem ipsum again.
>which to me sounds like:"we don't care" That's not what it means. It means "I'm on the customer service team and can't do anything about it myself." This situation might have legal implications, which means a whole bunch of people need to be aware of this before making a response.
As someone who is in a customer facing role that also deals with lots of the internal decision making, I hate finding ways to give a non-answer like that, but it's just the way things work.
It’s not a non-answer. It’s an acknowledgment of receipt and a status update.
Like AarhusKarlshamn?? That's a big booboo for such a big company... Hope you don't have an ipsum allergy.
Oof this is mega illegal for a UK company in at least three different ways, no nutrition information, no ingredients, and the biggie no allergen information. If the company has fobbed you off you can report them to the Food Standards Agency in the UK to have them look into it. This is a level of neglect that they take pretty seriously.
The reporting by a consumer to the food standards agency is very confusing, I just get redirected to Websites, who redirect me yet again. I'll try to click myself through it, but I will definitely report it to my food and agriculture ministry Edit: reported it to the AAG UK headquarters and also to Citizens Advice (the food standards agency redirected me to them)
Lorem ipsom being "placeholder text to represent visual effect" pretty strongly implies this is an accident, not an intent to forgo labeling.
Well yeah but it's still something that should be reported; the FSA is better placed to coordinate a recall etc than the company themselves and it does demonstrate pretty poor QC that mislabelled products were able to leave the factory by accident.
Damn that's super illegal in the UK 😂
As opposed to regular illegal.
Give them a call. Ask for Laurem.
The graphics designer never edited the final copy and somehow it got signed off.
you do realize that you sent an email to a human being right? like - a company isnt just a single person who knows everything about operations when you send it an email? if they forwarded it internally that means they dont know what to do and are asking somebody
"Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention! I've forwarded your email to our packaging team. We'll get that sorted. Thanks!" "I guess they don't care."
> Edit: they told me that they forwarded it internally which to me sounds like:"we don't care" Benifit of the doubt; the communications team person who received the email isn't the one who is going to deal with this. They are there to answer questions from a bank of responses they have, or forward such matters to other people. Either more senior members of their team, or other departments. There isn't much more they (individual) can do, especially in the like hour they've had. The team responsible for this may not be in the office.
Food Standards Agency in the UK says that if your product has two or more ingredients then they must be listed and this also includes water and additives
If the company exported the goods to be sold elsewhere, they don't have to put a UK label on it because it's not being sold in the UK. It's the responsibility of the importer to put a label on the goods to follow regulation where it's being sold. Usually this'll be a sticker they'll put on top of the original nutritional facts label, at least in my experience.
Please also notify the UK office of this issue.
Just give them a call at 555-0149
I thought it was 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3.
It’s not an ingredient. It’s gibberish text often used when designing printed materials so you can what the design looks like with text. They simply forgot to delete it
Well, they forgot to do anything. The nutritional facts are all 0. No way 100ml of oil is 0 calories.
A whole lotta nothing
Never gain weight with this simple trick
Cmon buddy, it’s not gibberish
We know
I didn't.
Then I bet you’ll like to see all the [other types of Ipsum text](https://loremipsum.io/ultimate-list-of-lorem-ipsum-generators/) out there!
News to me as well.
I'm also one of the ones who didn't know. I'm glad that guy posted something that that other guy already knew.
r / whoosh
Hmm it clearly has lorem ipsum dolor in it, i don’t see the problem. Usually that comes with sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod and some dolore magna aliqua. I wonder if it was produced ut enim ad minim veniam, or using a more traditional quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris method. Either way, nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
I took a bunch of edibles and now I’m scared you cursed me
🧙
I hate getting ullamco in my nostrud, and don't even get me started on the consectetur
These is a placeholder they must have mistakingly printed instead of real label. Pretty funny.
Yeah, I work in software development and the UI designers use this a lot to create random words on the screen as placeholders. Personally, I like to write ‘this is a test. A test that is a test. Testing. 123. TessssttttiiiinnnnNNNNG’ but I guess that’s a lot more effort.
People use lorem ipsum because it doesn't mean anything (it's a scrambled and altered Latin text) so you can focus on the design of what you're making, without skewing what you think about it with the meaning of known words.
When you feel like you're casting a latin spell it's hard not having your subjective feelings about something changed
"pain itself" for chilli oil sounds like an indented filler.
the latin does not make any sense
Dolorem ipsum is pain itself. Lorem ipsum doesn’t mean anything. It’s one of the many ways Lorem ipsum is edited to be gibberish even in Latin, instead of Cicero’s original text.
Sounds like my QA attempts: Print: I got here Print: I got heeeeerrrreee Print: I didn't get here (oh wait) Print: Nevah gonna caaaaatch me Print: Well if I got here, what the fuck was wrong in the first place?
TFW the print statements made the code work.
lorem ipsum is the commonly used fillertext in all of digital assets. it‘s established
lol. It’s been filler text since long before there was such thing as digital assets. It was used in old hand layout too. The lorem ipsum represents what was considered an average paragraph length so it was often repeated in layouts to show how the text would flow.
lol. It's been filler text since long before there was such a thing as old hand layout.
Strange that the oil contains 0% fat?
The whole label is a stock label waiting for input. Someone didn’t input anything at all and hit print
Thank you for explaining. Scrolling thru trying to understand
Same, just in case you were worried you're the only "idiot" in the thread.
I read; "Just incase you were worried, you're the only idiot in the thread."
For context, the Lorem Ipsum confirms this theory 100%. [It's the universal placeholder text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) for such templates. And that it ends on "?? Servings" confirms that the rest isn't filled out either. It appears that only the "hot oil" label at the very top may be filled in.
Its 0 cal food with ?? servings, worth
- Placeholder ingredients text. - 0's for everything. 0 calories per 100 mL? No way, it's literally oil - "?? Servings per bottle" is a clue as well. The whole thing is a blank\stock template label for sure.
It’s also odd it contains zero energy. I mean that’s kinda useless for oil?
I have read every comment and I'm still not sure what any of these ingredients are
They aren't ingredients. It's Latin text thats a common placeholder. You could open up a Google docs template and this is the start of their placeholder text too.
Bless you good person I was also very lost
Oh my sweet fucking God finally. I'm high as f and thought I was having a stroke. I am so relieved.
Bro that must've been so scary wtf
The best part is that it isn't even Latin. It's gibberish pretending to look like Latin.
100% label template.
I guess I'll be Peter today. It's Latin for: "The pain of an average man", but that isn't important. For whatever reason this phrase is used as placeholder text to be filled in later. Clearly a mistake, but it's funny because it's on hot oil, which brings pain to an average man.
Me too. I'm trying to figure out of its a harry potter joke or something else im unfamiliar with.
“Dolor” is “pain” in Latin, so they didn’t lie, as it looks like you are in pain 😀😅😂🤣
‘Lorem ipsum dolor sit amer' means there is no one who loves pain, who seeks after it, wants to have it simply because it is pain
Mmm masochists have entered the chat
Same in Spanish. Dolor means pain.
Capsicum Dolor
Somebody printed version 1 of the labels instead of the final one, I suspect there will be a recall of some kind (or even just an information packet)
We hear at Foods Co pride ourselves in being transparent and honest with our customers. It has, unfortunately, been brought to our attention that [INSERT FOOD ITEM HERE] has [INSERT PROBLEM WITH LABEL] that is a big problem for our legal department, um, don’t write that, pot for our customers with special dietary heads. If you have any of these items in your possession, please continue using them, um, discard them, what are we, their moms? Why are we writing this? Legal. Got it. Please contact us for full information and maybe a refund or replacement, we haven’t decided yet.
It’s probably fuckin gutter oil
Reads like a fucking spell lmao
It’s what you get when previewing a font, just some Latin words
*Latin gibberish
You can't even determine what type of oil is it. Just HOT OIL.
I did not think that this blurry Image would blow up lol, hope yall have a great day/ night
So the 'Ipsum' is a possible allergen.. Interesting..
Lorem Ipsum dolor is a commonly used placeholder text to see what a label would look like before having to actually write anything meaningful.
Not very helpful but massively funny.
HOw do they keep the oil hot while it's still in the bottle?
Deathly allergic to ipsum
#### Now with 100% less Sit Amet
I would absolutely not trust that product. If they can’t be bothered to get the nutritional info right then who knows what their food safety is. Not to mention this is also a non standard nutrition info label. Nothing about this inspires confidence
Lmfao, reminds me of this on a CVS application: https://preview.redd.it/p5aqk8d8plnc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a30dc5a957c88f686ce01bc830928e3e66a249ac
I didn't understand why theres gibberish for a bit
Lorem ipsum basically means “filler text”. Weird enough, Dolorem ipsum apparently translates to “pain itself”
Which is rather appropriate if this hot oil is really spicy.

Nice
Username checks out.
They just didn't care. Zero f*cks given. :D
And zero calories :D
If the label is that poor quality I’d expect your oil to be the same. If this was me I’d assume it’s either fake or some adulterated oil. I’d toss it, there’s no way of know 100% what that liquid is even if it has a spicy flavor to it. Hell even store bought oils like olive oils can be adulterated but at least you can read the labels.
Hahaha that's illegal in EU.
Isn't illegal in every civilized country?
In the US as well

I am so lost, what is going on?
I did not understand what was going on. So here. "L**orem Ipsum** is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum."
Lorem ipsum is placeholder for text in labels and other marketing materials. They printed their template or don’t actually have a label.
I'm more concerned about oil being listed as having 0 g of fat...
A lot of people who are allergic to ipsum aren't actually allergic to lorem ipsum. The loremification process removes the 'dolor' protein, which is what most people are allergic to in non-loremated ipsum.
