Summary

Plant Junkie Organic Avocado Oil scores 80/100. USDA Organic, naturally refined avocado oil with a high smoke point and neutral flavor. Independent testing (Mamavation) measured 415 ppb of total phthalates — a trace, sub-MADL load, comfortably below the per-serving level of concern. Refining trades a little of the raw oil's polyphenols for heat stability, and some packaging-derived plasticizer contamination is unavoidable across the category.

Contaminants 1

Phthalates (total)
415 ppb
Trace

A trace phthalate load — among the lowest measured for any avocado oil. Phthalates are plasticizers that migrate from packaging and processing equipment; none of the category is fully free of them, but at this level per-serving exposure is a tiny fraction of the Prop 65 DEHP maximum allowable dose of 410 µg/day.

Mamavation avocado oil phthalate testing: total phthalates measured at 415 ppb (µg/kg) — about 6 µg per tablespoon, versus the Prop 65 DEHP maximum allowable dose of 410 µg/day.

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.
