Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether consumers who purchased Siete Foods chips marketed as made with avocado oil paid a premium for products whose oil composition may have been inconsistent with authentic avocado oil.
Siete has built substantial consumer recognition around foods positioned as alternatives to conventional snack products, including potato and tortilla chips made with avocado oil. Siete was one of the nationally recognized brands included in the 2026 UC Davis testing of avocado-oil processed foods.
The UC Davis study found that 26 of 28 avocado-oil chip samples—93%—failed its authenticity criteria. Reporting based on the study’s product-level results identifies tested Siete products among the samples with compositions inconsistent with authentic avocado oil.
Why Consumers May Have Been Misled
Consumers may select Siete products specifically because they are represented as being cooked with avocado oil rather than conventional vegetable oils. That ingredient distinction can be important to the purchasing decision and can justify a higher retail price.
If products labeled as using avocado oil actually contained other oils that were not identified in the ingredient list, consumers may have paid more than the products were worth as represented.
We Are Interested in Hearing From Consumers Who:
- purchased Siete potato chips or tortilla chips marketed as made with avocado oil;
- relied on the product’s avocado-oil representations;
- specifically sought to avoid other cooking oils;
- paid a premium for Siete compared with conventional chips;
- purchased Siete chips repeatedly;
- would have selected another product had they known the oil might not be authentic avocado oil; or
- still possess receipts, packaging, photographs, or online order records.
