Not Much Avocado in Guacamole

I saw this story on Marketplace’s website that many guacamole dips contain little avocado:

The group says the guacamole dip made by Kraft contains less than two per cent avocado. Instead the dip is made of mostly water, partially hydrogenated coconut and soybean oil, corn syrup, whey protein concentrate, potato and salt. […]

I’m a bit surprised, as I didn’t expect common guacamoles to include such little avocado. So, I suppose I’ll just avoid brands such as Kraft, Herr’s, Dean’s and Marie’s (the prime offenders listed in the article).

  1. Right on, Charles. Get it fresh. Along with some extra spicy chips.

    BTW, a reliable source tells me guacamole is one of the most contaminated things in restaurants. They leave it sitting out for long periods. And not just in the dirty dives either.

    Don’t totally avoid Kraft tho. They own Cracker Barrel and you know how good that is.
