Hidden Oils Prompt Texas AG Investigation Into Avocado Oil Products
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into companies that sell products labeled as "made with avocado oil". This follows a study from UC Davis indicating that many of these products contain undisclosed seed oils. The study revealed that 93% of chip samples, 71% of mayonnaise, and all dressing samples tested contained these hidden ingredients. Paxton emphasized that consumers should not be misled when choosing healthier options. Civil Investigative Demands have been issued to companies like Primal Kitchen and Siete Foods, as the investigation seeks to uphold the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
