Fats, Oils and Greases. In case you haven't been keeping up with environmental issues, FOGs can cause a whole host of problems.
The fats, oil and grease (FOG) found in food ingredients such as meat, cooking oil, shortening, butter, margarine, baked goods, sauces and dairy products is a major concern for New York City’s sewers. When not disposed of properly, FOG builds up in the sewer system constricting flow, which can cause sewer back-ups into homes and overflow discharges onto streets. It can also interfere with sewage treatment processes at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plants.
