Summary

Madhava Avocado Oil scores 20/100. The avocado oil itself is a fine single-ingredient cooking oil, but independent testing (Mamavation) measured 56,808 ppb of total phthalates — roughly 19× the next-highest avocado oil tested and enough to exceed the Prop 65 DEHP maximum allowable dose level in a single tablespoon. Unlike the rest of the category, where plasticizer contamination is modest and unavoidable, this is a genuinely contaminated product and best avoided.

Contaminants 1

Source: Mamavation

Phthalates (total)
56,808 ppb
High

A very high phthalate load — roughly 19× the next-highest avocado oil tested and enough to exceed the Prop 65 DEHP maximum allowable dose of 410 µg/day in a single tablespoon. This is genuine contamination, not the trace packaging migration seen across the rest of the category.

Mamavation avocado oil phthalate testing: total phthalates measured at 56,808 ppb (µg/kg) — about 795 µg per tablespoon, versus the Prop 65 DEHP maximum allowable dose of 410 µg/day.

Key ingredients 1

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.
