It also has oats, though only 10%.


Careful. Oatly's ingredient listing is potentially deceptive. The ingredients are listed as:

> Oat base (water, oats 10%), rapeseed oil, ...

That is, the oats make up 10% of the oat base, which is the most prominent ingredient, not of the entire product.

The other ingredients which I've elided are things like stabilizers, preservatives, and so on, so they likely don't account for more than 1% of the total product.

Now let's assume the worst case: that Oatly is 50% "oat base", and 49% canola oil, and 1% additives. This would be consistent with their ingredient labeling.

Then, Oatly would actually only contain 5% of oats.


If you want your post to seem reasonable maybe estimate a level of canola oil lower than 49%, it can be calculated from the fat content in a serving.
