Oat Shortage in 2022
Description
According to the Gluten Free Certification Organization: There is a widespread oat shortage that will affect the availability of gluten-free oats this year. Here's what to know:
This past year, several factors have impacted high-quality oat supply:
→ Droughts across farmlands have led to devastating grasshopper infestations and fires
→ Many farmers have replaced oats with more profitable crops like corn
→ The high demand for oat milk has increased prices and reduced availability
Bottom line: manufacturers may have trouble sourcing safe gluten free oats. Look for the GFCO certification symbol on any products that contain oats to be assured it tested less than 10 ppm.
