Briannas Avocado Oil Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette - 10 fl oz
At a glance
Summary
⚠️ Independent testing at UC Davis (2026) found the avocado oil in this product was not compositionally consistent with authentic avocado oil across two lots; the fatty-acid profile indicates dilution with cheaper seed oils. This vinaigrette features high-quality ingredients like avocado oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs, which contribute to its nutritional value. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of xanthan gum and its overall processing level, which limits its score. Despite the clean ingredient list, the processing level imposes a cap on the potential score.
