Published: December 9, 1981. MADRID, Dec. 8â A scandal involving adulterated cooking oil, which has killed 215 persons in Spain since last spring, has brought the nation's seafood canning industry to the verge of collapse. Although no poisonous oil has been found in 18,000 spot-checks of canned seafood, consumers' confidence has been shattered.
Although oil continued to be Spain's major source of energy, it had diminished in importance significantly since 1973. Oil consumption grew steadily between 1973 and 1979, reaching 50 million tons in that last year, but by 1985 it had declined to 39 million tons.
