Questions and answers

What makes Quaker Old Fashioned Oats different from instant oats?

Old Fashioned Oats are rolled thicker and take about five minutes to cook, so they keep a chewier texture. Instant packets are rolled thinner and precooked, so they soften with hot water alone.

Are Quaker oats gluten-free?

Plain Quaker Old Fashioned Oats are labeled gluten-free, but oats are grown and milled near wheat, so check the package for the gluten-free seal if you have celiac disease. Flavored instant packets often contain other ingredients.

Does Quaker offer a warranty or returns?

Quaker stands behind its products with a satisfaction guarantee: if you are unhappy, contact the company with the package details for a replacement or refund. Store returns follow each retailer's own policy.

When does Quaker run sales?

Quaker promotions cluster around back-to-school in late summer and the winter holidays, when oatmeal demand rises. Retailers also discount it during their own store-wide grocery events, which vary by chain.

What are Quaker's most popular products?

Old Fashioned Oats and Quick 1-Minute Oats are the core sellers, along with Instant Oatmeal packets in flavors like Maple & Brown Sugar. The company also makes granola bars and grits.

Are there Quaker discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Quaker products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
