Waitrose Oat milk

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Waitrose Oat milk scores 21/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Waitrose Oat milk lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Oat (10%), Sunflower Oil, Chicory Inulin and Tricalcium Phosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 21/100 Waitrose Oat milk scores worse than most dairy-alternative milks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in dairy-alternative milks is Califia Farms Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk at 100/100.
