@eatlovebird slide 5 is crazy. why does this happen? either companies don’t care or don’t know. check out this avocado oil supplier pricing… what person wouldn’t question why non-codex conventional avocado is ~50% cheaper than the codex (purity tested) version? Conventional Non-Codex: $3.20/lb Organic Codex: $6.65/lb Conventional Codex: $5.65/lb hopefully there is action to help explain or correct the issue. UC Davis tested these ‘avocado oil’ products (2026, Applied Food Research). the lots they bought that “failed” were compositionally inconsistent with pure avocado oil: the fatty-acid and sterol profiles pointed to blending with cheaper oils like canola, safflower, or soybean. results applied to the specific lots tested and there could be variation lot to lot that were not tested. study: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.afres.2026.102389
