How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

"I can't believe we're legally not allowed to call it guacamole"

This got me curious so I looked up the nutrition page on Tesco's website... The two main ingredients are water and tomatoes lol

INGREDIENTS: Water, Tomato, Rapeseed Oil, Onion, Modified Maize Starch, Avocado (3.5%), Soured Cream (Milk) (3%), Lime Juice from Concentrate, Lemon Juice from Concentrate, Whey Powder (Milk), Sugar, Garlic Purée, Jalapeño Chilli (1%), Coriander Leaf, Dried Egg Yolk, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Salt, Colours (Lutein, Copper Complexes of Chlorophyllins), Stabilisers (Xanthan Gum), Dried Red Pepper, Glucose Syrup, Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid).

at least they're up front about their bullshit. unlike "american cheese" that has "pasteurized processed cheese product" in fine print. or "ice cream" with "frozen dairy product" in fine print. when i worked at starbucks we had to call it a "chocolatey chip" frappuccino instead of "chocolate chip," because the ingredients didn't fit the legal definition of chocolate

i'm also impressed they called it "rapeseed oil" instead of canola oil. though maybe there are new rules about that

edit: ok, "canola oil" is a stupid americas thing--i withdraw my impressedness

Honestly not sure why people get so upset about American cheese. It's just cheese with an emulsifier in it that softens it. Best burger cheese by far.

Props to them, though, for keeping equal text size for the title so it's not as easily mistaken for actually guacamole.

Edit: or rather pretty close in size

Reminds me of "fruit drink with natural flavors." Not actually juice, just juice adjacent.
