Oatly organic tastes like cardboard
Hi there,
I am an oat-milk lover and have tried different brands. This morning I drank Oatly organic (light brown package) and I had to throw my breakfast in the bin as it tasted like cardboard.. literally! I soon found out that it was your drink that tasted that way, not the cereals I poured my oat milk onto. I also had an Oatly Chocolate and it is was OK, so the problem was with the Oatly organic only. I just wanted to give you a heads up (and show a bit of disappointment to have spend my money on something that I needed to bin straight away....).

Hi pal, fellow oat lover, Matteo!
So sorry to hear that Oat Drink Organic didn't live up to your expectations. Although it is of course possible that you simply weren't a fan of the flavour, it sounds odd that it was so bad it was undrinkable. Did you shake it properly before opening? Would you be able to reach out to us over email, at info@oatly.com, so that we can investigate further?
Love,
Inez at Oatly

Same! Drank oatly organic for years and it tastes different even swerved it for a couple of weeks but husband bought me a few cartons tonight as he knows it’s my fave, not knowing I’ve had to try others and it tastes different again, googled if it was just me and found my self here… to me it tastes like old water has been used… it’s just off but not as in gone off 😓

Omg we've just had the same! so happy I came across this thread! We just chucked our cereal away, then did some investigating and realised the oatly organic we've bought smells and tastes way different to normal! We now have 3 more cartons and don't know what to do with them :-/

The same...I just finished a bottle of Oatly organic oat milk (the brown one). It smells like cardboard, bothersome. The use by date is still far, it was properly stored, but the taste is different from all oat milk I have ever tried. I hope it doesn't affect my health.

Yes, here the same! (from the Netherlands) we have been drinking the oatly bio for years now and the last few weeks and it doesn't taste good anymore and a bad aftertaste. Is the oat rotten?
And more people here has the same taste and don't like it anymore.

I also just had the Organic oat milk (it was on offer, I usually drink semi Oatly) and the taste was definitely off, not like it had gone off but just sour and leaves a bad aftertaste. It also leaves way more residue on the sides of a cup of coffee.

Hello,
Hope this helps…
I have experienced the cardboard taste in the Barista version a few times. I have worked out that this is ONLY when I have purchased REFRIGERATED cartons. I usually buy from the shelf and NOT in the fridges and on the few occasions I have bought from the fridge the oat milk has had the cardboard taste.
Seems to me like there is no need to refrigerate the oat milk until the carton has been opened.
kind regards
Carl.
