Edmonton, Alberta — Oats are enjoying another market and media moment. In 1997 oats made headlines as the first food to make a health claim for lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease. Today, oat milk leads stories about plant-based dairy alternatives. Oat milk is the choice of consumers looking for a healthy, vegan and lactose-free drink produced through environmentally friendly and sustainable practices.
