The vast majority of chips, salad dressings, and mayonnaise labeled as containing avocado oil showed fatty-acid and sterol profiles inconsistent with authentic avocado oil.
I guess our labeling laws are completely worthless....? I'm tempted to gather a bunch of my receipts for a couple of these items and send copies to the company demanding a refund for their falsely labeled junk. SMDH
A nanny state us not the answer. The whole concept of labeling laws is communist. Forcing business to not make false claims is communist. Good luck to entrepreneurs if they want to take the marks for a ride. If the product is crap the market will turn against it.
That is fraud. I ate several packages of Siete brand just last week, thinking I was getting high-quality oil, and I have two Sir Kensington's mayo in the fridge. Dear God, what a corrupt world we live in, ruled by greed. I always go back to how the average citizen gets penalized for minor infractions right, left, and center, while big corporations slide on the most egregious frauds of all types, whether it is lying about ingredients or claiming a patient died of COVID when they did not. I hope there is a class-action lawsuit, but the laws are failing us greatly.
I have a membership with Consumer Labs and they recently reported on this study. I have been using Chosen Foods Avocado Oil, which tested okay, but the Chosen Foods Avocado Mayonnaise did not.
This report left me wondering why? Why would this company sell healthy Avocado Oil, and then compromise their mayo?
I guess it’s all about the money. But, it looks like I will have to start making my mayonnaise from scratch.
What’s new? It’s the Peek Fraud Era. For Boulder Chips I have sensed strange tastes sometimes. Done eating snacks like this. Now do a study for Beef Tallow and Lard.
That’s outrageous food fraud! Is it the avocado oil company committing the fraud to its customers or are each of the manufacturers scamming the public?
I hope they get heavy fines. I’ve bought several of those adulterated products! I’m pissed!
Even bottles of olive and avocado oils are adulterated. Putting the bottle in the freezer overnight helps determine whether the oil is adulterated; if you see separated oils, it's fake.
Sounds like if I really want mayo, that I'll have to make it homemade (with Olive Oil that is authenic!) and probably better eggs than in any commercial mayo!

Are y having a stroke or something?
It would be good to also publish the products that met the standard. That would be giving kudos to those companies that do go by what they say.
Exactly. It’s nice to know what to buy, not just what not to buy.
I'd like to know if the bottled avocado oils is actually simply avocado oils.
I did, too. See my comment below.
yes please!!! I've bought some of the ones that made the naughty list. But not all that I've bought or heard about are on here.
Yes. I would like to know who actually is complying with the standards because I’ve been duped.
Love your name
UGH!! How disappointing! Thanks for letting us know!
Tell me again why tax payer's money is used to fund the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)?????????
What a joke.
I've used that Primal Kitchen mayo! The ONLY WAY to know what is in something is to make it yourself. Snacks? Forget it
Where can you get the real ingredients to make it? You can't even trust that.

Yup, I was eating Siete chips for same reason. No more!

I use both local tallow, and lard.
I'd like to know if packaged lard is, in fact, just lard.

I just watched the PBS documentary "the poison squad"; things have taken a slide back to the late 1800s.
What CAN we TRUST??
Do those fraudsters list the other oils in their list of ingredients?
Thank you!
