FWIW
My YD rebbe R Yoseph Weiss expressed this explicitly in shiur [circa 1976]
re: hechsher of vegetable oils, that what used to be deemed reliable is
no more

I don't know if this teshuvah was related, just that from the 1950's to
the 1970's things changed which matches RZS's point AIUI.

Sorry, I don't recall the details fuzzy recollection about cleaning out
nonkosher oils ..
