Over the last few years, oat milk has become the number one plantbased milk choice for customers, and remains a top seller in the longlife milks category, outselling other non-dairy milks like almond and soy milk, says George Lim, Foodstuffs North Island Category Manager Breakfast Foods.
He explains: “This surge in popularity can likely be attributed to several factors. Firstly, oat milk offers a tasty solution for those with
lactose intolerance or following a vegan diet, allowing people to enjoy their favourite cereals, coffees, and smoothies without dairy.
“Secondly, oat milk is often perceived as being a healthier choice and has a reputation for being lower in fat and containing more fibre compared to traditional dairy milk. ‘Boring Oat Milk’ continues to be one of our top-selling plant-based milks as it continues its rapid growth year on year.”
