Oatmilk

Oatmilk is a plant-based milk alternative made from oats and water. The oats are typically soaked, blended with water, and then strained to create a liquid resembling dairy milk. It is often fortified with vitamins and minerals.

Oatmilk is used as a dairy milk substitute in beverages, cereals, and coffee drinks. Manufacturers add it for its creamy texture, mild flavor, and ability to emulsify and stabilize products. It is commonly found in plant-based milk alternatives, coffee creamers, and some baked goods.

Oatmilk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of dietary fiber and can be fortified with calcium and vitamin D. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated oat-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
