In January 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Yucatan Foods for allegedly falsely marketing guacamole. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the company labels guacamole as being “95% AVOCADO; 5% SPICES” and “ALL NATURAL” when the product actually contains additional ingredients, which are non-natural and highly processed. (Miller et al v. Yucatan Foods, L.P. and Does 1-50, Case No. BC645421, Superior Court of the State of California – County of Los Angeles)
