Sesame Oil

The barcode 6905113000418 is associated with sesame oil, but there are some inconsistencies and limitations in publicly available data regarding this specific SKU. Below is a detailed breakdown based on available information:

Product Identification & Brand

• Barcode Matching: The barcode 6905113000418 is linked to sesame oil in some databases (e.g., GS1, retail listings), but verification is critical. If the product label does not explicitly state "Sesame Oil" or the brand differs, this barcode may be misassigned or reused for another product (e.g., a different oil or a product with sesame oil as an ingredient).
• Likely Brand/Manufacturer: Without direct access to proprietary databases, the exact brand cannot be confirmed. However, similar barcodes (e.g., 69051130004X) often belong to private-label or generic brands sold in Asian grocery stores, supermarkets, or online retailers (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, or specialty stores like H Mart or 99 Ranch Market). Some listings suggest it may be a bulk or food-grade sesame oil from manufacturers like Tianjin Hualin (a common supplier for generic sesame oil in the U.S.).

Product Type & Variants

1. Sesame Oil Types:

   • Cold-Pressed (Food-Grade): Used for cooking and flavor (nutty taste). Typically labeled as "culinary sesame oil."
   • Toasted Sesame Oil: Stronger flavor, used as a finishing oil (not for high-heat cooking).
   • Refined Sesame Oil: Lacks the nutty taste, used for frying (e.g., in Chinese stir-fries).
   • Expeller-Pressed vs. Chemical Solvent: Food-grade oils are usually expeller-pressed (safer for consumption).

   Warning: If this barcode corresponds to a refined or industrial-grade sesame oil, it may contain traces of hexane (a solvent) unless explicitly labeled as "food-grade" or "organic." Hexane residues can be harmful in high amounts.

2. Allergen Warning:

   • Sesame oil is a major allergen (similar to nuts). Products labeled as "may contain traces of sesame" or "processed in a facility with sesame" are common. Always check the label for allergen statements.
