They've been rapped on the knuckles for making dodgy claims in their patronising adverts. Apparently Oatly have a very tenuous grasp of the concept of facts.

Ha de fucking ha.

[quote Leafstamp]Haha! Good. I wrote them about their stupid patronising article.

Here's the backstory for anyone unaware: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4152662-Oatly-takes-out-ad-in-The-Guardian-to-mock-desperately-out-of-touch-parents-about-pronouns-in-email-signatures?pg=2[/quote]
Thanks for linking. I completely missed this! In any case, I gave them a long trial but I found their products to be vile. That includes the much famed barista. I bet your cafe would go out of business at record speed if you started serving that.

@SirSamuelVimes

If you google Oatley Share price, a graph should pop up and you can view over a day, week, months etc.

Summary: last May it was over 28p. Now less than 7p!

@MondayYogurt

Their share price speaks for itself.
Ooh tell me more! I don't really know how to find / track share prices. Has theirs been declining? (Crosses fingers)

Why were they arseholes before? I didn't know about anythin. I always buy it!

It may be ‘ghastly’ stuff but Oat milk has been a life saver to our family with nut and soya allergies. So please be careful in being too critical of it, many people have no choice.

That’s no comment on Oatley as a brand, luckily it’s avoidable!

@AgathaMystery

Yup it’s appallingly bad for your blood glucose. But all milk & ‘milk’ is. It’s just liquid glucose.

HWBWithStripes - I forget where I read it (recently) something to do with the GI index and type 2). Certain foods set me off and this is one of them!

@WellThatsMeScrewed M and S one has more iodine in it. I will give it a try.

Forfamily123 · 26/01/2022 18:39

[quote WellThatsMeScrewed]@Forfamily123 my DC dietician said M&S own brand is also fortified. But this is the reason I keep buying Oatley because of dietary needs.[/quote]
With iodine? I’m off to find out.

Phrenologistsfinger · 26/01/2022 18:36

@Thievesoil it’s actually not! You can make your own oat milk at home with oats strained through a muslin. Just sayin’.

It’s a ghastly processed product.

VelvetChairGirl · 26/01/2022 18:25

Lidl own brand but oat milk in tea or coffee is horrible anyway, stick to soya

Penguinno · 26/01/2022 18:17

Oat Milk has higher carbs then soya and some nut milks.

@Omicrone

You can buy Tesco own brand oat milk for half the price of Oatly now, and it's just as good anyway.
Unfortunately it’s not forfeited with iodine which is especially important for children and women.

Apparently oat milk is terrible for people with diabetes. I know it doesn’t agree with my (not diabetic but bonkers blood sugar)
Oh, why?
