Ingredient Score:
Planet Oat Extra Creamy earns a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves on our scale, reflecting a middle-ground option in the quest for cleaner food choices. This oat milk alternative is not certified organic, which results in a deduction in our scoring system, yet it is made with non-GMO ingredients, a positive aspect for those seeking to avoid genetically modified organisms in their diets.
The product consists of oat milk made from filtered water and oats, enriched with vitamins A, D2, B2, and B12, which contribute to its nutritional profile. It also contains sunflower oil, a source of unsaturated fats, as well as calcium carbonate, a mineral supplement. The addition of stabilizers and emulsifiers such as dipotassium phosphate, guar gum, sunflower lecithin, and gellan gum is common in plant-based milk alternatives to achieve the desired texture and shelf stability.
However, the inclusion of gellan gum leads to a score reduction due to its classification as a potentially harmful additive on our website. We apply strict criteria to ensure that the food products we recommend are as beneficial and clean as possible. While gellan gum is approved for use in food and is generally recognized as safe, some consumers prefer products without such additives.
Despite the deductions for not being organic and for containing gellan gum, the product does avoid the use of harmful oils like palm oil, which is often associated with environmental concerns and health issues. It is important to note that the score reflects only the presence of certain ingredients and does not account for other factors such as taste or nutritional value beyond the vitamins added.
Consumers looking for an oat milk option may find Planet Oat Extra Creamy to be a reasonable choice, as it avoids GMOs and harmful oils, but it does include additives that are less desirable for those seeking the cleanest food options. This product represents a compromise, offering some benefits while also having areas that could be improved for those with the strictest health and environmental standards.
