Sunflower oil helps give our Oat M*lk the smooth, creamy texture we all love. Oats already bring plenty of creaminess on their own, but adding a little fat helps create the rich, satisfying mouthfeel we were after.

We know there’s been a lot of conversation about seed oils lately, and we totally get why you might have questions. Sunflower oil is a food ingredient that’s been safely used in a wide range of products for years. When it comes to nutrition, it’s helpful to consider the overall diet rather than focusing on one ingredient alone.

There’s another reason we use sunflower oil, too. The fat helps with the delivery of fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamins A and D, which we add to our Oat M*lk through fortification.

We also chose sunflower oil because it has a mild, neutral flavour that lets the natural oat flavour come through. Oils with a stronger flavour, like olive or avocado oil, could change the taste of the Oat M*lk.

That said, we totally get that sunflower oil isn’t for everyone. You’re not alone in your concerns, which is why we’re exploring alternatives. Finding a non-seed oil that still gives us the same delicious taste and texture isn’t simple, but it’s something we’re looking into because we know it matters to our community.

In the meantime, have you tried our Naked Oat? Just 4 simple ingredients: Canadian oats, water, sea salt, and enzyme. No oils, no extras, just pure oat-y goodness.

Our Oat M*lks are made using gluten-free oats, but not gluten-free certified through a third party certification. We also don’t have any gluten present at our plants and we regularly test our Oat M*lk for gluten to ensure we are meeting our own company standard of 5 parts per million, which is way lower than CFIA’s requirement to be labeled gluten-free (up to 20 parts per million).  

If you have celiac disease, Health Canada has some helpful resources on what celiac safe means. Chatting with your doctor to ensure our Oat M*lk is the right fit for you may also be a good idea!
