Summary

AVO Avocado Oil scores 78/100. A refined, high-heat cooking oil (rated to 520°F) with no additives or preservatives, sold in a large plastic bottle. Independent testing (Mamavation) measured 682 ppb of total phthalates — a low load, still below the per-serving level of regulatory concern though the highest of this cleaner cohort. As with all avocado oils, some plasticizer contamination from packaging is unavoidable.

Contaminants 1

Source: Mamavation

Phthalates (total)
682 ppb
Low

A low phthalate load. Phthalates are plasticizers that migrate from packaging and processing equipment — no avocado oil on the market is fully free of them. At this level, per-serving exposure sits well below the Prop 65 DEHP maximum allowable dose of 410 µg/day.

Mamavation avocado oil phthalate testing: total phthalates measured at 682 ppb (µg/kg) — about 10 µg per tablespoon, versus the Prop 65 DEHP maximum allowable dose of 410 µg/day.

Avocado oil
Very Good

High in monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), heat-stable, and minimally processed — an excellent cooking oil on its own. Independent lab testing did detect phthalate plasticizers (see lab results), which migrate from packaging and processing rather than coming from the oil itself.
