Oatly Oat Milk Ingredients — Is It Actually Healthy
Oatly positioned itself as the healthy dairy alternative. The ingredient list tells a more nuanced story.
The darling of the plant milk aisle
Oatly became a cultural phenomenon. The branding is clever, the company talks about sustainability, and baristas love the way it foams. But the health claims deserve scrutiny.
What the label shows
Oatly Original contains oat base, water, rapeseed oil, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, iodized salt, vitamins D2 and B12, and riboflavin. The ingredient list is relatively short.
The rapeseed oil is the main concern — a seed oil high in omega-6 added for texture. The sugar content comes from enzymatic processing of oats which breaks down complex carbs into simple sugars.
