Even though it is impossible that is the reading of the Marcheshet who says
the
Ramah is only talking about oils that were not checked before Pesach.
As such he concludes that oils are "ze-ah be-alma" and are kosher for Pesach
for Ashkenazim if made before Pesach.
It is the Chaye Adam who makes the inference the inference from the Ramah
and as
I  wrote not everyone agrees

The Ohr HaChaim states in Pri Tohar YD:39b that in takanot and certainly in
minhagim
any safek goes le-kula.
Rav Lior and R. Ariel explicitly allow Canola oil (with a hechsher for
Pesach).

Furthermore since kitniyot ae batel be-rov it means that many commercial
items
that contain kitniyot are allowed for Ashkenazim if it is less than 50% of
the ingredients.
Of course there is no problem for the company to make these products since
50%
of Israelis are sefardim who have no problem.
