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 avocado oil, a high-quality fat that supports heart health, and uses sea salt and black pepper, which are minimally processed and provide beneficial nutrients. However, the presence of cane sugar, a refined sugar, contributes to increased calorie intake and potential health issues like obesity and diabetes. The product is processed, which limits its score despite the use of some beneficial ingredients.
