[Avodah] cottonseed oil

[Eli Turkel]

<<>> Cottonseed is  completely out of the question, because it grows on a
tree, and everyone  agrees that tree fruit are not included.  <<--

And what about all the poskim that prohibit Cottenseed oil?
I remember sveral years ago in EY, R. Landau gave a hecsher to cottenseed oil.
There was such an outcry that a few days before Pesach he was forced
to declare that
one should not use the cottenseed oil under his hechsher.

BTW if one looks at the Jewish Action article
http://www.ou.org/pdf/ja/5770/spring70/70-75.pdf
the OU allows cottenseed oil because cottenseed is not edible nothing
about it being a tree
they dont allow Canola oil and dont recommend Quinoa but do allow citric acid
