How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it’s guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

      at least they’re up front about their bullshit. unlike “american cheese” that has “pasteurized processed cheese product” in fine print. or “ice cream” with “frozen dairy product” in fine print. when i worked at starbucks we had to call it a “chocolatey chip” frappuccino instead of “chocolate chip,” because the ingredients didn’t fit the legal definition of chocolate

      i’m also impressed they called it “rapeseed oil” instead of canola oil. though maybe there are new rules about that

      edit: ok, “canola oil” is a stupid americas thing–i withdraw my impressedness

    Props to them, though, for keeping equal text size for the title so it’s not as easily mistaken for actually guacamole.

    Edit: or rather pretty close in size

    Reminds me of “fruit drink with natural flavors.” Not actually juice, just juice adjacent.
