I have a similar issue. It split when I poured it into my tea which never happened before with any other oatly product. It seems the oatly spoiled after just two days despite keeping it in the fridge. Not sure why or how.

Hey Catherine,
Oh no! I can understand your frustration with this, I want to assure you that we hear you and don't take your feedback lightly. Perhaps giving you some insight into our Barista Organic will help put your mind at ease somehow. Since our Organic version does not have the same regulators as our non-organic Barista this makes the product slightly sensitive to both the coffee roasts and how the product is prepared which affects the product differently as you've experienced.
We've found that coffee roast with a higher acidity level can make the product taste slightly bitter and at times cause the product to split, and the same can be said when heating. Unlike our conventional Barista edition which is recommended to be best heated at around 60 degrees, the organic should be lower than that to get the best functionality and avoid splitting in your coffee.
I would urge you to give the product another chance as I believe that given what I've mentioned, you can expect different results. However, I'd love to hear more from you as to the kind of coffee brand you've used, so the brand, the roast type, and if you know include the acidity levels of the beans would be helpful, last but not least, where you are located. Your feedback will give us a better understanding of what happened in your case.
If you feel that the product is faulty, please reach out to us via our Complaint Form, and our team will have a deeper look.
I hope this gives you clarity, but if you feel that you'd like me to dive deeper into this, feel free to let me know and I'd be more than happy to.
I look forward to hearing from you, but until then, I hope you have a great Friday and weekend ahead.
Warmest Regards,

Awful. Been a Oatly user for years, usually use the regular barista Oatly milk. Bought a few cartons of the organic one because it was on sale, and I understand why it was on sale now. No matter the roast or how much you froth the milk, it splits and leaves your coffee tasting really nasty. Super disapointed.

Same issue here. Not a very high acid roast and brewed pour-over with sub 90 degree water. Product still split both when slightly heated and cold. Definitely not a recommendation and quite frankly incredibly strange that Oatly brands this as a barista product.

Same here. Looks like this is a basic issue with this product. Aldi Barista Oatmilk is great and doesn't split at half the price!

I use full fat oatly and it used to never split or curdle and now it does literally everytime I use it, no matter what coffee I use. I am using the same machine, it’s so disappointing that’s literally the reason I’ve continued to buy oatly for years. I’ve tried other versions and it’s the same, they changed something in it. No version (full fat, low fat, regular or barista) of oatly has ever curdled for the five years I’ve been buying this brand until a month or two ago and now it does every single time, something has been changed. Time to find a new oat milk.

Just ordered a few boxes of the Organic Barista Oat Drink and have noticed it splitting in coffee when steamed. No issues before with the ‘regular’ Barista Oatly which has been great so far but wanted to go organic. Gutted as I’m not sure what to do with all the cartons I have left.
I’m using a ‘dark’ roast which I love but the flavour just isn’t the same when the milk splits unfortunately.
It’s a shame there’s no mention of this anywhere on the product page/product itself regarding only specific coffee types or not heating above 60°C. I really want to support organic products but don’t feel this has hit the mark I’m afraid.
Any tips on what to do with all the other cartons I have left?!

This is not a customer issue. I have really enjoyed using oatly for quite a while. Please fix the formulation as this has been occurring with all espresso based drink I have made with oatly. Same filtered water, clean machine, beans, process, and pressures. Switched away from oatly and the curdling stopped. I have been making lattes with oatly every morning for the last 5 years, but had to switch due to the curdling/separation.

Unfortunately, we've experienced the same issue. We've been using Oatly for over five years without any problems. While almond milk often separates, Oatly was always reliable and never let us down.
However, the recent sale of the Bio Barista makes sense now. We've tried three different coffee roasts, and unfortunately, all of them caused the Oatly to separate.
