Common questions
Is Oatmeal healthy?
Oatmeal scores 100/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.
What is in Oatmeal?
Oatmeal lists 2 ingredients, starting with Oat Flakes and Whole Grain Oats. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Oatmeal contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Oatmeal’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is Oatmeal?
Oatmeal is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
How does Oatmeal compare to other cereal?
At 100/100 Oatmeal sits in our top band, among the better cereal we have scored.
Is Oatmeal organic?
Oatmeal is not certified organic in our data.
Has Oatmeal been lab tested?
Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Oatmeal, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
