What You Should Know

You’d spot this bottle in the condiment aisle or on a party platter — an avocado-oil based dipping sauce marketed to clean-eating shoppers who want a rich, mayo-style dip without artificial ingredients. It gives a wholesome-yet-indulgent vibe, but the smooth, shelf-stable emulsion and ingredients like starch, gum, fruit concentrate and citric acid point to industrial formulation and texture control typical of ultra-processed sauces.
