It is nothing short of a scandal. You soon learn the lessons about "pure food" - but you also learn quickly that, although most supermarkets advertise the availability of pure food (like GF oats) individual stores in a chain (such as Tesco, Asda) often decide not to stock such products. Following a coeliac diet (especially when also diabetic) is a real struggle for product availability.

So I checked out the <a href="http://www.fussyfoodie.co.uk/foodie/910/oatly/" title="Oatly" / rel="nofollow">Oatly</a> website - and I'm still not sure!! Here's what they say... "Only top-quality oats are used. You'll find as little as 6 other types of grain per 30 000 oats. However, we do recommend that you consult your doctor first".
