Summary

⚠️ Independent testing at UC Davis (2026) found the avocado oil in this product was not compositionally consistent with authentic avocado oil across two lots; the fatty-acid profile indicates dilution with cheaper seed oils. This product features a clean ingredient list with only potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt, which are minimally processed and free from harmful additives. The use of avocado oil, a healthy fat, instead of seed oils, enhances its nutritional profile. Despite being processed, the absence of artificial additives and the use of high-quality ingredients justify a high score within its category.
