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 product is a sweet potato chip cooked in high-quality oil, providing a cleaner fat profile and simpler ingredients than most conventional chip options.
