Little avocado in some guacomole dips: consumer group

There's almost no avocado in guacamole dip made by Kraft and other U.S. companies, says consumer group, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).

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.

"By passing off these cheap pastes as Guacamole, Kraft and others are practically begging to be sued," said the group's executive director, Michael F. Jacobson.

"Foods like these highlight the need for a law that would require labels to disclose the percentages of key ingredients."

Other brands that contain almost no avocado include Herr's, Dean's and Marie's.
