I- is that what you were curious about? Like, what did you look at?
12:09
Yeah.
12:09
It, there seems to be more avocado oil coming out, um, on the supermarket shelves every day.
12:16
So we were curious, because we don't think there's that much avocado oil to go around to put in these products.
12:23
So we tested 74 different products.
12:26
That includes chips, mayonnaise, salad dressings, and these products are labeled as 100% made with avocado oil.
12:37
And we found that 89% of them had different oil in them.
13:25
So what did you find? Like, did you dig a little deeper into where is that disconnect coming from? Are people intentionally misleading?
13:55
Selina, what is about to happen here? Can you walk me through this?
13:58
Yeah.

So after months of waiting, businesses are finally getting answers on how to get some of that tariff money back.
14:04
So starting today, as of this morning, they can apply for refunds through a new online portal run by Customs and Border Protection.
14:11
Now, important to note that businesses have to opt in for refunds, and even for valid claims, it'll take sixty to ninety days to see that money and longer if there are any issues with the application.
14:22
And this applies to the tariffs that the Supreme Court ruled were illegal back in February, and it covered a big bulk of President Trump's tariffs so far.
15:07
So and if we're about to see, uh, like, tens of thousands of importers say, "Hey, we'd like our money back, please," what's the economic ripple effect of that? Like, who benefits from it, and maybe, uh, does anyone get hurt?
15:17
Yeah.
20:36
Oh, good.
20:36
Yeah.
20:37
Instead of, uh, food scientists, uh, nutritionists, people who's been studying this for...
20:43
Who's been trained to study things like this, and has been studying it for a long time.
20:49
Right? So, I think we probably all grew up with...
20:53
I'm assuming we're about the same generation (laughs).
20:57
And we probably all grew up with, you know, the idea that, um, animal fats are full of saturated fats, and they're worse for you compared to plant-based fats.

Something that works better as less volatile, you know, double bonds?
