Summary

⚠️ Independent testing at UC Davis (2026) found the avocado oil used in this product line was not compositionally consistent with authentic avocado oil in every lot of the line's products tested; the fatty-acid profile indicates dilution with cheaper seed oils. This product features a clean ingredient list with stone ground yellow organic corn, organic avocado oil, sea salt, and lime, which are all minimally processed and free from harmful additives. The use of organic avocado oil is particularly beneficial as it provides healthy monounsaturated fats. Despite being processed, the absence of seed oils, artificial additives, and preservatives allows it to score well within its category.
