SIX people were jailed for up to five years for making and selling swill oil in east China's Jiangxi Province.
Wan Aimei, Wan Bin and Wan Jun, who founded the Jiangxi Huanyu Biodiesel Co Ltd in 2008, were found guilty of buying substandard cooking oil and using it to manufacture oil for animal feed since 2010, court officials said yesterday.
They sold about 1,000 tons of the oil between February and August 2011 for around 7 million yuan (US$1.12 million).
The Nanchang County People's Court passed down sentences ranging from two and half years to five years in jail for the crime of producing and selling poisonous food.
Zhang Shengfei, Zhao Junjian and Huang Xiaoxing, who managed a drinks manufacturer in south China's Guangdong Province, bought the oil from Jiangxi Huanyu and sold 114 tons to cooking oil distributors.
They were given jail terms of between three and five years for the crime of selling poisonous food, according to the ruling.
Swill or gutter oil is recycled oil made from kitchen waste dredged from gutters behind restaurants as well as inedible animal oil. The oil is dangerous if consumed, as it contains carcinogens.
