Extra virgin oil classification

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>Hi Everyone

Some time this year I noticed on a few olive related industry sites that
extra virgin olive oil must be not more than .8% acidity which I believe had
changed from not more than 1%.

When did this change occur and why? I don't remember seeing anything about
the changes being implemented, only that it had occurred at some stage.

I just searched and found that many sites still list the maximum allowable
ffa levels as not more than 1% including the Australian Olive Association's
site.

I'm not disputing that the standards have changed but only one figure can be
correct.

Just curious.
