We know allergens are serious business and we want you to feel 100% comfortable with our gluten-free claim. So, grab a cup of coffee and get comfy, it’s a bit of a long read!
For starters, our oat grain supplier is gluten-free certified, and our oats are grown under the Purity Protocol. It means that our oats come from pure and uncontaminated seeds grown on fields without wheat, rye or barley in the crop rotation for at least 3 years. They are seeded and harvested using dedicated machinery and transported using thoroughly cleaned equipment. The oats are then processed in a dedicated gluten-free facility and extensively tested for gluten contamination. Gluten presence must be below 5 ppm.
For our oat flour used in Oat Zero Sugar, oats are not processed under the Purity Protocol but we are happy to share that the gluten free oat flour meet the requirements of the Gluten-Free Certification Program Global Standard.
But we don’t stop there! At our plants, after we create our oat base, we test it for gluten before we start making our Oat M*lk with it. The other great news is that we don’t have any ingredients containing gluten present at our plants. Yet, we regularly test our finished Oat M*lk for gluten to ensure we are meeting our own company standard of 5 parts per million, which is waaaay lower than CFIA’s requirement to be labeled gluten-free (up to 20 parts per million). Yup, it’s pretty legit!
If you have celiac disease, Health Canada has some super 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!
Sunflower oil adds amazing flavour & creaminess. Although oats naturally make a creamy plant-based m*lk, the addition of fat helps us hit that rich dairy-like mouthfeel we were after. And… we are super proud that our Oat M*lk was voted best tasting Oat M*lk in Canada. Go oats!
That said, we totally get that sunflower oil – and seed oils in general, aren’t for everyone. You’re not alone in your concerns, which is why we are exploring alternatives. Finding a non-seed oil that still delivers the same delish taste isn’t simple, but something we’re looking into because we know it matters to our community.
In the meantime, have you tried our au natural Naked Oat? Just 4 simple ingredients: Canadian oats, water, sea salt, and enzyme. No oils, no extras—just pure oat-y goodness.
Oats are naturally high in carbohydrates which contain starch and some sugars. We use natural enzymes to break down the whole oat, which means we get a creamy (and oh-so tasty) liquid instead of a thick, oatmeal like substance. During this process, the natural long chain carbohydrates are “cut” into smaller chain carbohydrates which is actually sugar. Long story short, we don’t add sugar into our Oat Original but it is naturally produced from our processing.
If you’re looking for the perfect match with zero sugar, look no further than our Oat Zero Sugar or our Unsweetened Original Almond M*lk 🎉
