Relying on COFCO, China's largest agricultural product processing enterprise, FLM has quickly become a leading brand of edible oil in small packaging in China, with a market share of edible oil ranking second in the country, second only to Arowana. Similar to Arowana's product upgrades in recent years, FLM has also adopted technologies such as moderate refining, nitrogen filling and UV-resistant packaging to improve the retention rate of nutrients such as vitamin E, phytosterols, gamma oryzanol and squalene in raw materials.
Since 2011, when COFCO began to implement cross-category and cross-brand operations and shifted its sales focus from offline to online, FLM's popularity has never been what it used to be. In the face of severe competition, FLM took the lead in launching a fully publicly formulated Nutritionist Blended Oil in 2017 to dispel consumers' long-standing doubts about blended oils. This blended oil is one of the healthiest blended oils with the healthiest fatty acid ratio, containing 37% corn oil, 35% rapeseed oil, 13% rice oil, 10% peanut oil and 5% flaxseed oil, rich in essential fatty acids at the same time, the ratio of omega-6:ω−3 fatty acids is also relatively appropriate, 5L is about 90 yuan.
FLM's other blended oils contain genetically modified vegetable oils, and the price of 5L is between 40-60 yuan. Like the edible blended oil for nutritionists, it contains a variety of vegetable oils, but soybean oil and rapeseed oil account for more than 90%, and the content of other oils is very small. As for the sunflower seed fragrance/corn fragrance/peanut original fragrance edible plant blended oil, it is a relatively single blended oil, mainly soybean oil, adding a small amount of sunflower oil, peanut oil and other flavored edible oils, the price is very low, you can choose according to the taste preference when buying.
FLM single-variety vegetable oil is not outstanding as a whole, compared with other vegetable oils of the brand, rapeseed oil is a more advantageous oil species, full of flavor and relatively rich products. FLM canola oil is roughly divided into four types: home flavored pressed rapeseed oil, non-GMO pure coriander oil, non-GMO pure rapeseed oil and AE non-GMO rapeseed oil. Among them, non-GMO pure rapeseed oil is pressed fourth-grade, close to the flavor of soil-pressed oil, and the rapeseed oil has a strong fragrance, but the quality is slightly inferior to the other three pressed third-grade oils, 5L is about 56 yuan.
The home fragrance is strong and fragrant pressed rapeseed oil belongs to the fine products in the pressed three-level rapeseed oil, the fragrance is authentic and the materials are high-quality, and the price is relatively higher, 5L is about 80 yuan. Non-GMO pure coriander oil and AE non-GMO rapeseed oil are inferior to the home fragrance pressed rapeseed oil in taste, which is more ordinary, among which AE non-GMO rapeseed oil is fortified with vitamin A and vitamin E, and the 5L specification of the two oils is about 55 yuan.
In general, FLM cooking oil is less expensive, and FLM is a more economical choice if you are not particularly looking for the aroma of the oil.
