                                According to a landmark 2020 study by UC Davis researchers, at least 82% of avocado oil sold in the US was found to be either adulterated with cheaper oils or rancid before its expiration date. This alarming statistic raises serious questions about the authenticity and quality of avocado oil in the US market, prompting a deeper look into a widespread issue of food fraud.
