Quaker Gluten Free Oatmeal debuts in the US with three varieties: Quaker Quick 1-Minute Standard Oats (18 oz. canister) and Quaker Instant Oatmeal (single-serve pouches) in both Original and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors.
“Requests for gluten free oats have been among the top inquiries from our consumers for the past several years,” said Becky Frankiewicz, senior VP of Quaker Foods.
“Our expert millers are the best and most passionate in the business, and they’ve taken the time and extreme care to develop great-tasting, gluten free offerings in which consumers can be confident.”
The company says although oats are naturally gluten free, stray wheat, rye, barley and spelt may be introduced during farming, storing and transportation.
Through the development of a cleaning system, the millers at Quaker remove stray grains and conduct quality checks to deliver oats that meet FDA standards for gluten free.
