*Transformer Oil Being Used To Fry Fresh Chips, Chicken - ZESA* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?fo The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) Group Public Relations Manager, Fullard Gwasira has cautioned citizens against buying foodstuffs from unlicensed and unregulated operators as some of them are using transformer oil to fry food. Gwasira said that transformer oil looks similar to edible oil, thus making it hard to tell the difference. He said: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

So let us beware where we eat those fried chicken, fish and chips and report cases of vandalism. Gwasira further revealed tat the oil does not have a distinct smell and people can eat food prepared with it without suspecting anything. In recent years, ZESA has lost equipment worth thousands of US dollars due to vandalism with transformer oil being the target in most instances. *More: Health Times* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
