Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Follow Your Heart Avocado Oil Vegenaise is a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food products. This product does not use genetically modified organisms, which is a positive aspect for consumers looking to avoid GMOs. However, it is not organic, which detracts from its overall green leaf rating.
The ingredients list for the Avocado Oil Vegenaise features expeller-pressed oils, which are generally considered a better alternative to oils extracted using chemical solvents. The use of expeller-pressed avocado oil aligns with the health-conscious approach of the product. However, the inclusion of expeller-pressed high-oleic safflower oil is less favorable, as safflower oil is not typically celebrated for its health benefits in the same way avocado oil is.
Added sugars are another concern for health-minded consumers. This product contains brown rice syrup, which is a form of added sugar. While some may argue that brown rice syrup is a better alternative to refined sugars, it still contributes to the product’s overall sugar content, which is a drawback for those monitoring their sugar intake.
The remainder of the ingredients, such as filtered water, apple cider vinegar, pea protein, sea salt, mustard flour, and lemon juice concentrate, do not raise immediate red flags. These ingredients are commonly found in similar products and do not significantly detract from the health profile of the Vegenaise.
The Avocado Oil Vegenaise by Follow Your Heart, with its 3 out of 5 green leaves rating, presents an option for those who are looking for a condiment that avoids GMOs and utilizes some health-conscious ingredients like avocado oil. However, its lack of organic certification and the presence of added sugars and safflower oil mean that it does not stand out as a top choice for the most health-focused consumers. It holds a middle ground in the market, offering some benefits while also leaving room for improvement.
