On August 14, 2026, Law360.com published an article titled “Utz, Condiment Co. Sued Over Avocado Oil Claims.” The article discusses the class action lawsuit against Chosen Foods LLC filed by Wolf Popper LLP, which alleges that food products marketed as containing avocado oil instead contain other oils. The article highlights recent research from the University of California, Davis, concerning the authenticity of commercially sold avocado oil products and quotes Wolf Popper LLP partner Philip M. Black, who represents the plaintiff in the Chosen Foods litigation:
“Consumers should be able to rely on product labels, particularly when they are paying a premium for a specific ingredient,” said Philip M. Black of Wolf Popper LLP. “Our complaint alleges that these products did not contain 100% pure avocado oil as advertised, and we look forward to pursuing these claims on behalf of consumers who purchased them.”
