How long is oat milk ok out the fridge

Hi Oatly Team, 

so our son is dairy free and drinks whole oatly by the gallon. He still wakes in the night for it and it’s a bit of a ball ache going down to the fridge, filling a bottle, warming it up and trudging back up to his room in the middle of the night. Would your milk be ok if I took a bottle up at say 10pm, kept it on my bedside table and then give it to him at room temp at 2am? 

thanks in advance from a semi sleep deprived parent trying to find a way to cut down her time out of bed x

Hi Natasha,

I hope that you are hanging in there with this challenging sleep schedule! We don't add any preservatives to our oatmilk recipes, so we generally advise keeping our oatmilk refrigerated continuously for food safety purposes. (Personally, I would not consume oatmilk that has been sitting out for more than four hours.)

I hope this answer is somewhat helpful! If we can send a nice care package for you to enjoy during this season of your life, just send an email over to our US team at info.us@oatly.com. They would love to send some gifts your way.

Could you put it in a flask instead ?

That's a good idea! Together with a freezer pack would likely work too.

Ahh I stumbled upon this post whilst also attempting to find a way to take our oat milk upstairs for little one during the night! We have a waker here too and I feel your pain! 

But I was taken back by the loveliness of the lady that answered the question and just wanted to say how lovely!! 

I'll be off to look at Oatly now as we are always looking for a lovely brand.

Hi there, I didn’t realise my oatly barista milk needed to be refrigerated (every other brand I have got is long life, so I store in a cupboard!). 6 days later I’ve realised the 4 bottles I put away in the cupboard say ‘keep cold!’. They are unopened bottles, will they still be ok? I have now put them all in the fridge in the hope that the answer is yes!!!
