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. Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil Ridge Cut Potato Chips score 40/100. The label is just potatoes and avocado oil, but the avocado oil failed that authenticity testing, so these ridge-cut chips are likely cooked in a seed-oil blend rather than the oil they are sold on.
