Estd 1877. No artificial preservatives, flavors or added colors. Topping added to present product flavor. Accepted. Rejected. Quaker has developed and adheres to multiple quality checks with stringent testing standards. While oats are inherently gluten free, other grains like wheat or barley can get mixed in during storage and even transportation. Quaker has developed a ground breaking, patented sorting system that removes these other grains to deliver gluten-free oatmeal with the flavor you expect. Quaker Sustainability Pledge: We value our communities and are continually on the lookout for ways to reduce our environmental impact - especially in areas of oat farming, packaging, and shipping. We've made progress, but there's more work to be done. Join us in our journey to take better care of the Earth. After all, that's where oats come from.
