Household Ingredients Compared  ›  Coconut and Avocado Oil (Singapore)

Coconut and avocado oil: what's actually in it?

Two very different oils share this page because they share a shelf: coconut oil (solid below about 24°C, very high in saturated fat, coconut aroma unless refined) and avocado oil (liquid, mild, high smoke point). Both are sold as virgin / cold-pressed (unrefined, keeps flavour) and refined (neutral). 'Fractionated' coconut oil is a third product — liquid at room temperature because the long-chain fats have been removed — and is filed separately, not as virgin coconut oil. Every oil panelled here is a single ingredient; the differences are the source fruit, the pressing, and the country of manufacture.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed, and flags where a list could not be verified.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the sortable table are as sold, per 100 g (or per 100 ml for liquids, where the source gives per-100 ml). Click a column header to sort low to high; click again for high to low. Rows marked "not stated" always sort last — a missing figure is not zero. Per-serving-only figures are in a separate table below and are never sorted against per-100 g figures.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar versus naturally occurring sugars.

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. No Nutri-Grade is quoted or assigned on any page in this batch — no official Nutri-Grade was found printed on any of these products, and these are not drinks in the Nutri-Grade sense except where a drink is involved (none here).

Only one per-100 g row was verified in this pass. For scale, a generic Open Food Facts avocado-oil entry (not a panelled brand) gives 929 kcal, 100 g fat and 14.3 g saturated fat per 100 g, and the Mantova avocado spray B2B listing gives 824 kcal, 91.6 g fat and 16.4 g saturated fat per 100 g — both are quoted here in the notes only, not tabled as brand nutrition, because neither is the panelled product's own panel. No per-100 g nutrition was verified for Foodsterr's coconut oil.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for Foodsterr Organic Coconut Oil — Virgin Cold Pressed. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here.

How to read a coconut and avocado oil label — the jargon, in plain English

Virgin / extra virgin (coconut)
Unrefined oil from fresh coconut meat, cold-pressed. Keeps the coconut aroma and solidifies below about 24°C. 'Extra virgin' has no legal definition for coconut oil — it is a marketing grade, not a standard.
Refined coconut oil
Refined, bleached and deodorised oil: neutral taste and smell, same fat profile. Not panelled here yet — no refined coconut oil list was retrieved in this pass.
Fractionated coconut oil
Coconut oil with the long-chain fats removed, so it stays liquid. Sold as a carrier / MCT oil. A different product from virgin coconut oil, with a different fat profile.
Cold pressed
Oil extracted by mechanical pressing without added heat. The claim is about process, not composition — the ingredient is still just the oil.
Avocado oil smoke point
A cooking property (refined avocado oil tolerates high heat), not an ingredient. It does not appear on the ingredient list and is not compared here.

Sources and method

Checked 12 November 2026 from: FairPrice Singapore ingredient section (Foodsterr Organic Coconut Oil — Virgin Cold Pressed, origin Sri Lanka); FairPrice oil listing pages (Mantova Pure Avocado Oil, Clearspring Organic Avocado Oil, Westfalia Fruits Avocado Oil, Now Foods Avocado Oil 100% Pure, Now Foods Coconut Oil Pure, Now Foods Liquid Coconut Oil Pure Fractionated, Wichy Organic Coconut Oil, Simply Natural Virgin Coconut Oil, Mantova Coconut Oil — Organic, Mantova Pure Oil Spray — Coconut); Open Food Facts SG entry (FairPrice Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, barcode 8888030300381: product of Philippines, packed in Malaysia; 828 kcal, fat 92 g, saturated fat 86 g per 100 g). Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so its shelf could not be panelled from its site. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition: figures are standardised to per 100 g where the source gives per-100 figures; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
