We just purchase 3 bottles of Chosen avocado oil from two different batches at Costco & we could not make mayonnaise with it. It was too liquidy.

lol I just bought my very first bottle of avocado oil the other day and it was the Chosen Foods brand and the whole time you were holding that bottle in the video I was sweating ;-D Glad to hear it's one of the good ones!
Yeah its technically illegal as heck since its false advertisement, and falsification of the nutritional facts data but...nobody is doing anything about it.
bro these people who own the media they own the corporations and the government so they probably push this scam on you to begin with. but thanks! don't forget santa an his flying 🦌 is comin soon
My granddaughter has a severe peanut allergy that can be deadly. I am shocked that peanut oil is mixed with avocado oil and not revealed on the label!!! Where's the Food Safety Dept?
14 Wheels - The FDA is busy spinning thru the revolving door. They go from FDA to drug companies to large food corporation and back to the FDA! Can you say conflict of interest!!!
Know what I discovered most chinese eggrolls have peanutbutter inside. Its their secret ingredient NOT LISTED. Evertime I asked an authentic chinese resturaunt they said tgere was peanut butter in there. Be careful because 1 place had there teenager taking the order she said no I dont think so, never take thst answer they DON'T THINK SO = I DONT KNOW TOO LAZY TO ASK. I TOLD HER YOU COULD KILL SOMEONE PEANUT BUTTER SHOULD BE LISTED.
This is exactly why there needs to be a Quality Growers Coop across America. Only honest brands with clean products can be a part of that association. Would make it easier for consumers to financially support these growers/producers while getting access to high quality foods. Somebody needs to make this happen.
Thank you for bringing this mystery to light. I have heard that Olive Oil and Avocado were blended but didn't know which ones. Went straight to Amazon to buy Chosen Avocado oil.
Thank you so much for this video! I used my avocado oil the other day to make some salad dressing. When I tasted it, I was shocked that it had a rancid taste to it, since I just purchased it the week before at Whole Foods and opened it before making my salad! Now I know why. I would have never known if you did not make this video. Always thankful for the time you take to explain all this very important information to us. Best, Angela
Ever since I learned about the fraudulent olive oil industry and the mafia's meddling in the olive industry, I don't even bother buying more expensive oils. There is so much lying. There's no telling what we're actually buying.
@@microbios8586 OR, you can use the body of knowledge at your disposal, and get an olive oil from a reputable company. Don't shop on price. Shop on the brand based on independent testing.
Actually according to the FDA peanut oil is not listed as an allergen. Because peanut oil is heavily processed the proteins in it that react with you are no longer recognizable or have been denatured. Meaning you will not have reaction to the oil. There are rare cases where people still react, perhaps there allergy is specific to a different protein from most in the peanut that does not get denatured in the process. This is ONLY the case for 100% refined peanut oils, not expeller pressed or cold pressed. I am also allergic to peanuts, but no I haven't tested this for myself.

This is got to stop. Like what the heck? There should be laws against this. You need a degree in nutrition now to go grocerie shopping. THANK YOU so much for making these videos. KEEP THEM COMING☺
Really good video & info. I’m glad you okay’d primal kitchen. I was getting so upset when you didn’t mention them, I was about to straight throw mine out along with the rest of their products.😅
Little did I know that when I left my poor life back on my island, it would have been the last time I would have known what it was like to eat true organic foods. There was no question as to where your fruits meats came from. Sigh. Sometimes trading one lifestyle has a price. Maybe having fresh food organic meats etc was not worth the stressful fake life here.
You just made me so happy. I was so sad at these reports of fake avocado oil. I have a cabinet full of it. Thanks so much for the work you do Bobby. 😊🤗💕
Thank you for this video!! Even though I'm not surprised some companies take shortcuts with these products, you shed important light on HOW they take these shortcuts. And kiddos to Costco for selecting companies who make good products that we as consumers can buy with confidence. Again, thank you for sharing this information!
The California Olive Ranch oil you held up is from their destination series. I live in CT and it's been nearly impossible to find California Olive Ranch oil that's not imported. They've really duped their customers by making a switch. Most of what is available on the shelves now is imported and a blend from various countries. Just horrible. They've made their California original a premium and not advertised the switch.
So many great questions on this confusing issue with oils. Hopefully Bobby can do a followup on this Avocado scam. takes a lot of work I know. Thanks Bobby for at least making us aware of the problem :)
Oh my gosh! I’m so happy I use Chosen Foods. That is so seriously wrong to mislead consumers like that. Thank you for this info. What about coconut oil? 🥑
Thank you for doing these videos! I have learned so much from your channel. I occasionally fact check but really don’t feel like I need to unless it is specific to my allergies, etc.
Thank you so much for your time and patience in doing what you do. I hope your family is well in this current situation. I value good food with the best possible ingredients, because more now than ever, the body needs the best we can offer. Peace and blessings
@@elizabethm6657 ty appreciate it - thick skin or mot still prefer organic if I can get it but when fertilizer from seed .. I still prefer organic .. just my opinion Ty tho
I just happened to buy the Chosen Foods brand last time, remembering something about it being a good product, and the best option of Walmart's choices. Now, I'm so glad I did!
I've been buying California Olive Ranch olive oil for a while now from the same store. The label used to always say they used olives grown in California. The most recent time I bought a bottle I noticed all the bottles say Argentina, Chile, Portugal & California. I see on the Cal Olive Ranch website they sell a 100% Cal olives version, and a 'Destination Series' version, which used olives from different countries. The destination series is listed as cheaper than the 100% Cal on the Cal Olive Ranch website. It looks like the store started selling the cheaper 'destination series' but i think they did not lower the price.
He's not lying about them using rancid oils. I bought some in Germany (La Monegasque) and it was a smelly mess. I miss Chosen Foods Avocado oil... :( Thank God I'm fortunate enough to get organic olive oil directly from a family vineyard in Italy. I use it every single day for food, hair, body, you name it.
Thanks so much for this information Bobby. I appreciate all the research and knowledge you pass on to all of us. Something needs to be done to regulate this industry given they won't regulate themselves. It's so hard to find real food or quality food in grocery stores as it is, then to have to deal with corporations who only care about their bottom line and not the quality of the product they're selling is frustrating. Even agonizing given how many stores I have to go to during the coronavirus (I'm 67 years old) just to find those products. I recognize that over time things change in these industries, but a list of the good and the bad (and the ugly) would be a great resource to have on hand. (btw: I signed up with Thrive Market because of you - you do a great job for them and I appreciate the assist).
I think you will find the good companies who arent lying are trying to regulate the industry. This kind of report highlights the need for it and its in the good brands interest to do this!
Great video! I’m so glad I use Chosen av oil! Bobby will you do a video on olives! I’m a big black olive eater, sometimes I hear you have to be careful with what kinds your eating. Would love to hear your point of view on them and the healthiest ones to buy. Peace ✌️
They changed this months ago and now called it “Destination series” used to be 100% Cali olives. They still have 100% California sourced but only the more expensive oils.
Oils from France should be okay they have high standards that we don't even have for their oils. Like imported olive oil from France. Look for expelled by dates on your olive oil if its over a year it's no good
How do you avoid buying fake olive and/or Avocado Oil(s)? No answer in this video. Just stick with two brands mentioned. Perfect. Got got it. Thanks! I appreciate the message and the fact that you mentioned two brands.
Pretty much all processed foods use the cheapest vegetable oils available. I personally would assume that any vegetable oil in a processed food product is at minimum rancid.
@@MPPG663 This info was taken from a UC Davis ARTICLE. The study it linked to mentions no brands...yet the article arbitrarily spits out these two brands as being the best. Sorry, I demand a little more correlation in my science.
I would like to see a list of the brands that were tested. This sounds like an advertorial for Chosen foods avocado oil to me. I brought an extra virgin avocado oil from a little brand called Olivado and as I'm extremely allegic had it tested at my local lab. It came out great, made from nothing but fresh New Zealand avocado. I would highly recommend this brand to anyone. It must not have been one of the bad tested ones.
@@goodman854 they did test heaps but Olivado was the first one to make it back in 2000 and produces more organic extra virgin avocado oil than any others in the world. They must know their stuff! Chosen Foods mislead the public in this and Bobby has promoted that which makes me think he is on their payroll!
How is this ok? What about people who have peanut allergies and they think they are buying avocado oil but then go into anaphylaxic shock? Unreal... I love chosen foods avocado oil!!
@Bobby - Thanks for providing the link to the article. The FDA may not regulate avocado oil, but the FTC usually regulates fraudulent marking. I'm going to forward the article to my Congressional Delegation to find out if something can be done about the blends.
Trust BARI olive oil - family farmed and made, not in stores. Great price at $46 gallon organic - delivered. Central California. Such places cannot afford to use bad or incorrect oil unlike big corporations with no single human in charge.
Question! I love your videos and it's really helpful to learn about avocado oil! I know you say the 2 best brands in this video but you say in your Aldi video that the cold pressed Avocado Oil is good to get. Would you say because it says 100% pure avocado oil and cold pressed it would be safe for me to buy the Simply Nature Aldi brand?
Thank you for your educational videos. All the information that you provide is so important. There are so many things that I have learned from you. Your videos are short and with important information which is excellent.
I buy the California Olive Ranch olive oil but the "everyday" version plainly says its made from olives from Chile, Argentina, Portugal and California. So its perhaps only 25% California olives. Right?
I remember reading that they had to go outside of California because they couldn’t meet demand. They do sell some that is entirely made from California grown olives on their website that costs a little more and I’ve even started seeing it at Walmart recently.
As soon someone who is allergic to peanuts/peanut oil, I would never think I could get sick trying avocado oil. I would think I had a problem with avocado oil also!
at 2:51 - texting while “carting” or texting while shopping, is dangerous, lol. i have almost been run over by many doing what that person was just doing there, face down in their phone, not looking, but rushing along with a cart.
Just watched a Dr. Berg video talking about how the same thing is happening with olive oil. Also, very glad Marianne's is one of them, since that's what I buy at Costco.
😲yikes! Aloha from Hawaii🤙I've never bought Avocado oil! It's ridiculously too expensive! I buy organic Coconut oil & organic cold pressed olive oil & organic butter I use for cooking & baking! Appreciate your research & info!
Thanks for this! Glad you included olive oil. I was going to ask for an olive oil vid before you finished - but you covered that. Change the title to reflect both oils...?
Thank you for doing the homework for us and for sharing information. You have true compassion, especially caring for us strangers. I hate being scammed, and have been scammed for awhile with so many falsely advertised food and products.
Thanks for the info Bobby! So if so many of the avocado oils out there are bad or cut with other oils, how can we trust that the products we buy that use avocado oil as an ingredient are actually using true avocado oil?
Trader Joe’s Kalamata olive oils is an amazing and pure olive oil from Greece. You should really try it. By the way the Kirkland organic Costco olive oils comes from different countries and the Kirkland non organic comes out boy from Italy and it is even a protected and certified product. I realized you often say your organic one is only from Italy but it is not. Turn the bottle and check below the abbreviation of all the countries. Keep doing such great job keeping us all healthy and informed. I love your videos and learned a lot!
That might explain why the avocado oil that I purchased recently starts smoking when my pan fry is not very hot. Their smoke point is supposed to be at 500 degree.
Everyday olive oil has given us a bait and switch now the bottom says the oil comes from a lot of different countries didn't use to be that way how do way know some of it is not counterfeit.
I should've known that some of the advocado oil is tainted. I remember a few years back that 60 Minutes ran a huge segment on the Olive Oil Mafia cutting the EVOO with old rancid oil or various random oils...Thanks for heads up
Being highly allergic to peanut oil I could have been quite ill if I used a brand that was adulterated. Thank goodness I only used Costco for my avocado oil purchases.
Wow! I’m surprised *Primal Kitchen* didn’t make the cut as pure 🥑 oil. I’ve always thought that brand was very trustworthy. Luckily I only use *Chosen Foods* 🥑 oil but I won’t be buying their (primal kitchen ) salad dressings anymore! Shady!!
Just because it wasn't stated doesn't mean it is bad. We don't know who was actually tested. The fails weren't declared. We have no idea if they checked Primal Kitchen's oil or not. I'd guess they didn't.
You're Buying Fake Avocado Oil*

The problem is there are no consequences!
Fda is not.doing their job..
Or sued to oblivion
Because he has no proof that it is fake. He would have to take to a lab to test the oils and then sue them if found to be fake.
Because the government DEREGULATES everything to focus on PROFIT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Chinese Carnivore uhm...he literally said in the video that they tested the brands.
I think those who have channels like this, who spend time educating the public and caring for humanity should be honoured in some official manner for their heart-felt work.

Look at the label closely on California olive oil. Some of their bottles are cut with oils from Europe.
They changed this months ago and now called it “Destination series” used to be 100% Cali olives. They still have 100% California sourced but only the more expensive oils.
They did this due to a crop shortage to meet demand, not a cost cutting measure/deception. They were wrong to hide it on a label though.
just like potatoe chip can contain 51% potatoes to be labeled as such

Oils from France should be okay they have high standards that we don't even have for their oils. Like imported olive oil from France. Look for expelled by dates on your olive oil if its over a year it's no good
How do you avoid buying fake olive and/or Avocado Oil(s)? No answer in this video. Just stick with two brands mentioned. Perfect. Got got it. Thanks! I appreciate the message and the fact that you mentioned two brands.
What about some of the potato chips you mentioned that are cooked in avocado oil - anyway to know if those are legit?
Pretty much all processed foods use the cheapest vegetable oils available. I personally would assume that any vegetable oil in a processed food product is at minimum rancid.
Try Boulder Avocado Oil Kettle chips. The ingredients are very clean.
@@MPPG663 ...and this is based on what...the company's claims?
@@krelbar *yawn* Go ask them about it.
@@MPPG663 This info was taken from a UC Davis ARTICLE. The study it linked to mentions no brands...yet the article arbitrarily spits out these two brands as being the best. Sorry, I demand a little more correlation in my science.
I would like to see a list of the brands that were tested. This sounds like an advertorial for Chosen foods avocado oil to me. I brought an extra virgin avocado oil from a little brand called Olivado and as I'm extremely allegic had it tested at my local lab. It came out great, made from nothing but fresh New Zealand avocado. I would highly recommend this brand to anyone. It must not have been one of the bad tested ones.
there are 100's of brands of Avocado oils, they only tested a small portion.
@@goodman854 they did test heaps but Olivado was the first one to make it back in 2000 and produces more organic extra virgin avocado oil than any others in the world. They must know their stuff! Chosen Foods mislead the public in this and Bobby has promoted that which makes me think he is on their payroll!
How'd you find a lab to test your oil? How much did it cost?
Local avacado oil testing lab? 😂 explain that please.
Just got back from Publix and they had Chosen Foods avocado oil on sale for $7! Glad I picked one up! Should have bought 2!
I so appreciate you sir! Its unacceptable the false advertising rampant in stores
Dunkin’s blueberry muffins do not contain blueberries 💙 & their butter croissant does not contain butter. 🥐
And zero trans fats can actually contain trans fats.
Please don’t diss on pop tarts and Cheetos. 🤣
Sooo what are the berries in their muffins???????
Angela Dyer they might be blueberry flavored raisins/cranberries! When I worked at Panera they did that. 🤭
true, but they don't claim they have it either. Which is what makes it legal.
I like this kind of videos . Thanks for helping us to buy the real product. Keep educating us..love you
How is this ok? What about people who have peanut allergies and they think they are buying avocado oil but then go into anaphylaxic shock? Unreal...
I love chosen foods avocado oil!!
I have a peanut allergy. Usually, they say made in a nut factory and so I avoid them.
It's doubtful that they would use peanut oil, they would have to say so, or risk a lawsuit from a person who got ill.
These videos are saving lives. Thank you SO much!
Bobby~no one is laughing @ my jokes, not even the employees. Art~ I didn’t say I was going to laugh at them. 😂😂🕺🏻🕺🏼 🥑❤️
That was funny
@Bobby - Thanks for providing the link to the article. The FDA may not regulate avocado oil, but the FTC usually regulates fraudulent marking. I'm going to forward the article to my Congressional Delegation to find out if something can be done about the blends.
Good morning guys!! So glad to see Art :)
And of course Bobby!!
Is Art really a Patriot ?
Hi Bobby thank you so much for making all these informative video! I just discover your channel recently. May I know where you get your mask from?
Thanks for keeping us updated by investigating our food! 🥰
Thank you! Also for the bonus olives oil update!
Geez they were crowding like crazy in that aisle , Bobby was doing the "Payton Shuffle".
I think it’s time to hold companies accountable. When they go up on price and it’s bad quality they need to hear from us the consumer.
I was wondering why Primal Kitchen oil would be placed on the bottom shelf, but then I realized, the stores put the unhealthy junk at eye level.
Always have because the big companies pay them to do that.
“Eye level is buy level” (Peter Kay - comedy genius)
Thank you. Dealing with fatty liver so trying to pay closer attention to what we purchases done your videos are so very clear and helpful.👍✌️
I followed your recommendations Bobby on what Avacado Oil to buy and I’m glad I did. What cooking olive oil from Costco would you recommend?
Avocado...
Chosen foods avocado oil
He's recommended the Kirkland EVOO before.
...and just said it again-the Costco EVOO from Italy.
Chosen avocado oil is sold here in Australia. It’s $45 for one liter. Not cheap imported from Mexico
It's impossible to trust producers at all.
Trust BARI olive oil - family farmed and made, not in stores. Great price at $46 gallon organic - delivered. Central California. Such places cannot afford to use bad or incorrect oil unlike big corporations with no single human in charge.
Question! I love your videos and it's really helpful to learn about avocado oil! I know you say the 2 best brands in this video but you say in your Aldi video that the cold pressed Avocado Oil is good to get. Would you say because it says 100% pure avocado oil and cold pressed it would be safe for me to buy the Simply Nature Aldi brand?
So then when we buy packaged foods cooked in avocado oil, chances are it’s not actually avocado oil being used??!!! 🤦♀️
Most probably
Thank you for your educational videos. All the information that you provide is so important. There are so many things that I have learned from you. Your videos are short and with important information which is excellent.
I buy the California Olive Ranch olive oil but the "everyday" version plainly says its made from olives from Chile, Argentina, Portugal and California. So its perhaps only 25% California olives. Right?
Probably less. The vast majority are probably from Chile and Argentina.
I remember reading that they had to go outside of California because they couldn’t meet demand. They do sell some that is entirely made from California grown olives on their website that costs a little more and I’ve even started seeing it at Walmart recently.
@@Eric-vq7jr I’ve seen it at World Market.
As soon someone who is allergic to peanuts/peanut oil, I would never think I could get sick trying avocado oil. I would think I had a problem with avocado oil also!
Olive oil is cut with crap oil and scammed too!
Buyer beware. So sad!
at 2:51 - texting while “carting” or texting while shopping, is dangerous, lol. i have almost been run over by many doing what that person was just doing there, face down in their phone, not looking, but rushing along with a cart.
Just watched a Dr. Berg video talking about how the same thing is happening with olive oil. Also, very glad Marianne's is one of them, since that's what I buy at Costco.
u mean Chiropractor Berg
😲yikes! Aloha from Hawaii🤙I've never bought Avocado oil! It's ridiculously too expensive!
I buy organic Coconut oil & organic cold pressed olive oil & organic butter I use for cooking & baking!
Appreciate your research & info!
So glad you did a video on this!!!!
I'm glad you referenced UC Davis as that is where the most valid and reliable research is done.
What about Primal Kitchen? Did they change the formula after Mark Sisson sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Foods?
Oh, no .... Why would he do that! 😱 Money isn't THAT important!
@@sketchur Sission still on there as an advisor
Thanks for this! Glad you included olive oil. I was going to ask for an olive oil vid before you finished - but you covered that. Change the title to reflect both oils...?
I was just waiting to see the deception on avocado oil... thanks for sharing
THANK YOU! Great info. Love this channel☺️
Thank you for doing the homework for us and for sharing information. You have true compassion, especially caring for us strangers. I hate being scammed, and have been scammed for awhile with so many falsely advertised food and products.
I wish we have someone like you to go through the products in Australia.
Talking about avocado oil wearing a mask that says guacamole 😅
Thanks for the info Bobby! So if so many of the avocado oils out there are bad or cut with other oils, how can we trust that the products we buy that use avocado oil as an ingredient are actually using true avocado oil?
Trader Joe’s Kalamata olive oils is an amazing and pure olive oil from Greece. You should really try it. By the way the Kirkland organic Costco olive oils comes from different countries and the Kirkland non organic comes out boy from Italy and it is even a protected and certified product. I realized you often say your organic one is only from Italy but it is not. Turn the bottle and check below the abbreviation of all the countries.
Keep doing such great job keeping us all healthy and informed. I love your videos and learned a lot!
That might explain why the avocado oil that I purchased recently starts smoking when my pan fry is not very hot. Their smoke point is supposed to be at 500 degree.
Everyday olive oil has given us a bait and switch now the bottom says the oil comes from a lot of different countries didn't use to be that way how do way know some of it is not counterfeit.
I should've known that some of the advocado oil is tainted. I remember a few years back that 60 Minutes ran a huge segment on the Olive Oil Mafia cutting the EVOO with old rancid oil or various random oils...Thanks for heads up
Being highly allergic to peanut oil I could have been quite ill if I used a brand that was adulterated. Thank goodness I only used Costco for my avocado oil purchases.
Iike the way you hold products up to the camera so I can see exactly which ones your talking about. Thank you! BTW, I just subscribed to your channel
Wow! I’m surprised *Primal Kitchen* didn’t make the cut as pure 🥑 oil. I’ve always thought that brand was very trustworthy. Luckily I only use
*Chosen Foods* 🥑 oil but I won’t be buying their (primal kitchen ) salad dressings anymore! Shady!!
Just because it wasn't stated doesn't mean it is bad. We don't know who was actually tested. The fails weren't declared. We have no idea if they checked Primal Kitchen's oil or not. I'd guess they didn't.
@@penguru21 I see your point but I'm not leaving it to chance.
You are amazing for doing this research for us! Thanks a million! You are priceless!
Put some of your oil in a glass and put it in the fridge. If it’s not solid in 24 hrs it’s not a Olive Oil.
Unless they cut it with peanut oil. Peanut oil gets solid when frigerated.
Can same test be applied to avacoado as well?
Matt Mason The dressing I make with avocado oil (Chosen Foods) doesn’t solidify in the fridge.
No the same test won't work with avocado oil.
Bobby, i love love love your content it probably saved my life. Where did you learn all the health information that you have?
Where can you get the list of all brands that were tested?
ya show proof if make claims
