We Tested Cooking Oils From Tesco, Aldi and Lidl & 8 UK Supermarkets | Here's the Clear Winner Most British shoppers assume cooking oil is basically the same. Familiar bottles, familiar prices, and names we have trusted for years. But when you look at the ingredient list, the price per litre, the origin, and the small print, the differences become much harder to ignore. In this video, we investigate cooking oils from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and eight more UK supermarkets, from vegetable and sunflower to rapeseed and cold-pressed, and ask one simple question: which bottles still deserve your money, and which are trading on packaging, health halos, or marketing claims? In this video, you'll discover: The label detail most shoppers miss: what "vegetable oil" actually is in a British bottle The branded rapeseed bottle that costs close to double for the same crop as own-label The premium cold-pressed oil that is a genuine product, and the one job that wastes it The bottle size that quietly carries the biggest per-litre premium on the shelf The 2022 rule change that allowed one oil to be swapped for another without the label changing The clear winner, and the simple rule you can use next time you are shopping Every claim in this video is based on current labels, supermarket listings, Food Standards Agency and British Heart Foundation guidance, company information, or named sources. Prices are as found at the time of our research and will vary by store and date. At UK Food Exposed, we investigate what British consumers are actually getting for their money, from supermarket shelves to restaurant chains and the heritage brands we grew up trusting.
