Q&A(4)
Q: why does the label information for this item not list the added sugar as an ingredient?
A: FDA guidelines around sugar created during the processing of oats. From Oatly's FAQ: Our oatmilks (aside from the Chocolate) don’t contain any added sweeteners like cane sugar, which is why they’re not listed as an ingredient. The sugar in our oatmilk is produced during our enzymatic production process. Basically, we use natural enzymes to liquefy our oats, which enables us to create a really creamy product that retains a lot of the nutrition from the original oat (like protein, unsaturated fats, fibers, and carbs). As part of this process, the enzymes break the starches in our oats down into smaller components, including simple sugar like maltose. It’s comparable to how the human body uses enzymes to break starches down into sugars during digestion. You can read more about this process here. FDA guidance on sugar labeling now provides that any sugar created during a product’s production process should be categorized as 'added', which is why these sugars are listed as 'added sugar' on our nutrition labels.
submitted byBostonGirl - 2 months agoA: The sugar is not added seprately. Instead the way that they process the oats breaks it down into an "oat sugar" which is why they have to classify it as an added sugar on the nutritional label.

Q: Can 2-year old toddler drink this milk?
A: Definitely, however it does have about 7g naturally occurring sugars per serving. Some kids do fine with that amount, some kids are more sensitive. I give it to my 3yo as a milk alternative but don't go over 1 serving per day or else he will get a little hyperactive.
