Is this avocado oil food grade?

It is not advertised as food-grade on the bottle itself. Furthermore, it says on the bottle "not for internal use." I believe that includes eating / cooking with it. We are using it for moisturizing skin / hair only.

I am not sure. It is in plastic container not glass .... And I never cooked with it. Not sure if I can be helpful here. Sorry. It is clear. It has no smell. but not sure if to cook with it is ok or not

Sorry I missed this message in a timely manner. Although I haven't made mayo with it...the non flavored avocado oil would be an excellent oil in which to make mayonnaise, much better than olive oil.

It says "refined and bottled in Mexico". I'm a little suspicious since it doesn't say "product of Mexico". Love the oil, just trying to make sure the avocados aren't from China. Haven't been able to make the determination yet.

I used the Neutrogena sesame oil long ago. I LOVED that stuff, but there are many additives in it if I recall. Avocado oil is additive-free and I completely love it and know what it is! A little goes a long way. I use it on skin and on my hair (I use it with castor oil for the oil cleanse).

No it does not. The ingredients are listed in the product information. It says:IngredientsShea Butter, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Vitamin E & Essential oils

I have nothing to test whether it is or not. It says it is and i am assuming it is. It does not smell like EVOO nor does it solidify like Coconut oil would...but again, other than testing it in a chem lab, you'd have to go with what is on the bottle. I researched the company and found it to be reputable.

I am not sure WHY you are asking me??? I am not the person selling it and I think you should direct your question to the source. However, I don't mind telling you that "food grade" means it's used by the food industry. A*

Here is an explanation from the Bella Vado website: "All of our Avocado Oil is processed Organically, but our Certified Organic Avocado Oil is processed using only Certified Organic Avocados. We're huge Organic buffs, and enjoy both our Original and Certified Organic equally."

this oil is for skin / cosmetic purposes , but since it is from almonds only - yes, that makes it vegetarian friendly but one more time - it is not for cooking or consumption ( look for almond oil in grocery section )

It is a fine product but not right for this application if food prep will occur on the counter. Osmo makes a product called Top Oil that has the same properties but is food grade rated.

Yes it is food grade and the only one I use for myself and my cats. I don't recall the percentage and it doesn't say on the container. The company has a free downloadable pdf if you want email them or go to their website. Lots of good information.

The label says "cold pressed to preserve the natural nutritional content" so I believe it is not "refined" in the typical sense. It is a clear oil with a mild nutty taste. I keep it in the refrigerator at all times and it does not thicken. I use it for cooking, salad dressings, etc. Another excellent oil is avocado oil.

No, it is not refined. The avocado pulp is first expeller-pressed similar to EVOO, then filtered. Smoke point is 375 degrees, so use as you would EVOO for sauteing, stir-fry, etc.

Glass...a quality product. and remember that in Avocado Oils, this is truly 100% pure --- the Virgin variety is not 100% pure.can you believe??I am not a shill but surprisingly happy camper with this on my high temp 6 burner grill.(meant to add that Virgin avocado oil doesn't have this 500 degree smoke factor - suggest to refrigerate to preserve shelf life...as the shelf life approaches the 1 year limit, all oils degrade from the max smoking rate potential)

Apparently, avocado oil has a relatively "short" shelf life. I've had mine unopened for a year, and there was black stuff floating in it! O_O So..... I thought it would be okay since my bottle was unopened and there's no expiration date. I'd say to try to have it used up in 6 months or less. If that's too much, buy a smaller quantity. It is possible I bought a "lemon".

Yes you can. And it will moisture because avocado is full of vitamin e, a vitamin that adds moisture to the skin. Just google the benefits of Avocado oil
