FAQs

Do Three Robins oat drinks have added sugar? 

Our original oat milk contains 3g of sugar per 100ml, all of this is naturally occurring. We don’t add any sugar as we know our oat milk is just the right sweetness already. The sugar content of our oat milk is also lower than supermarket brand semi skimmed milk!

Our chocolate milk does contain just a little bit of added sugar to bring out the chocolate flavour. However at just 3.1g per 100ml our sugar content is 30% lower than any other dairy or non-dairy chocolate milk.

What does fortified mean? 

Fortified means increasing the nutritional value of a food by adding vitamins and minerals. Both of our oat drinks are fortified with vitamins B2, B12, D, calcium, folic acid and iodine. All of these vitamins and minerals are essential for keeping you and your little ones happy and healthy! Read more about it on our blog post, here.

Is your oat milk made in Scotland?

We are proud to be a Scottish company, based in Edinburgh. 

Our oat drinks are made here in the UK, at a BRC certified manufacturer in England. We hope that one day we will be able to make our oat milk in Scotland, but there is currently no manufacturing facility that can process and pack plant-based drinks like ours in shelf-stable cartons.
