Meh. If it's cheap, don't buy it. If it tastes funky, don't buy a second bottle. What's the big deal?

Actually I recognize several of the imposter brands....which we have bought in the past.
And they weren't cheap.

I probably had cheap-o low quality oil (Bosa's house brand). After making my banana bread and having it ruined by the strong-tasting/smelling olive oil to line the pan, I stopped buying it. I then went to grapeseed oil, and today I bought rice bran oil.

Admittedly I hesitate to buy some of these other oils, since they are more expensive. What inspired you to buy rice bran oil? I've never it.

We're abit slow in knowing certain Vancouver biz outside of downtown. We just bike by a whole lot of other places further out.
