How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

at least they're up front about their bullshit. unlike "american cheese" that has "pasteurized processed cheese product" in fine print. or "ice cream" with "frozen dairy product" in fine print. when i worked at starbucks we had to call it a "chocolatey chip" frappuccino instead of "chocolate chip," because the ingredients didn't fit the legal definition of chocolate

i'm also impressed they called it "rapeseed oil" instead of canola oil. though maybe there are new rules about that

edit: ok, "canola oil" is a stupid americas thing--i withdraw my impressedness

Canola is a North American thing. AFAIK the British are familiar with the term "rapeseed" and don't need the rebranding.

Honestly not sure why people get so upset about American cheese. It's just cheese with an emulsifier in it that softens it. Best burger cheese by far.
