Case overview
What is the Sprouts case about?
Shoppers who pay extra for avocado oil chips to avoid seed oils may not be getting what they bargained for, according to new lawsuits against Sprouts. Several plaintiffs allege the grocery chain's store-brand chips, marketed as made with avocado oil, actually contain cheaper, refined seed oils instead.
The complaints lean heavily on a 2026 University of California Davis study examining foods labeled as containing avocado oil. Plaintiffs claim the study found that 48 of 54 samples tested, including 26 of 28 chip samples, didn't match real avocado oil's chemical profile, and that Sprouts chips were among the products that failed.
One plaintiff says she went further, paying to have unopened bags of Sprouts kettle chips independently lab-tested. She claims the results showed certain fatty acid levels far outside what's normal for avocado oil, suggesting, according to her complaint, that even if avocado oil is present, it isn't the only oil used.
The products named in the suits include Sprouts Kettle Style Avocado Oil Potato Chips in Sea Salt, Honey BBQ, Sour Cream & Onion, Sea Salt & Vinegar, and Dill Pickle flavors, along with Sprouts Organic Sea Salt & A Hint of Lime, Organic Sea Salt Blue Corn, and Organic Unsalted Blue Corn Tortilla Chips Made With Avocado Oil. One complaint notes its product list is "not limited to" these items.
The lawsuits accuse Sprouts of violating consumer protection, false advertising, and unfair competition laws, with some also alleging breach of warranty and unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs are seeking money damages, restitution for what shoppers paid, a court order forcing label changes, and attorneys' fees. These remain allegations only, Sprouts has not been found to have done anything wrong.
Filed in September 2026, the cases are still in early stages. Sprouts has not yet formally responded in court, and in one case has been granted additional time to do so. No class has been certified, and there is no settlement at this time.
