History
The Edible Oil Association was established by the Ministry of Food (Oil and Fats Control) in 1939 to oversee the creation of a national pool of edible oil and fats by all manufacturers. This was the first step towards wartime rationing. The Association was the forerunner of the National Edible Oil Distributors Federation, formed in 1946.
