Oats Bake were not unwrapped and broken - no Quality assurance check at all! – See the pictures. This happened 3 times in past 2 months. Reported to the manufacturer and received a complaint ref number but never received a reply. I have stop buying the product and moved to other alternatives. Show details

Oat Brits better than the Oat Flakes and better for you than Weet Bix – They are more satisfying and tastier than the Oat Fakes replacement and for. I'm very disappointed that they were discontinued. I may stop buying Oat Flakes and go back to Weet Bix although I know the oat based cereal is better for me than wheat based cereal. Please bring the Oat Flakes back and this time market the product properly to get your… Read more

sales up to where they could have been. I am disappointed they were never really promoted as so many need the health benefits of oats over wheat. I discovered Oat Brits by accident and was buying them for about 2 years until they were discontinued. I am annoyed Nestle's did not put a notice about Oat Brits discontinuance on their website as I wasted a lot of time frequently going to their website to find out what happened. Even shop assistants had no idea why they did not have them on the shelves.

What have you done to Vita Brits – Since you have taken over making Vita Brits the consistency and flavour has changed considerably they now have no taste and are very dense.I have been eating them for the past sixty odd years but if things don’t change I will have to find a different option Yours truly Darrell Show details

55% Oats – I was very disappointed to find they are 55% oats, with wheat making up supposedly the remainder, since they just list wheat, without the percentage. I don’t know if they’ve changed the recipe over time or not. Disappointed.

Nestle's Uncle Tobys Oat Brits. Loyal customer, Very unhappy with this product offering – April 2013. Box code: Best before 04 NOV 2013 13:35 30383607A1 Before submitting a negative review I should make it clear I have been and remain a long time consumer of Uncle Tobys Traditional RolledOats, originally a product of Clifford Love & Co and still essentially remains faithful in taste and texture throughout the various company… Read more

mergers and takeovers since 1960's

It is my preferred hot winter breakfast, and I believe, a healthy low GI option.

My wife recently purchased Uncle Tobys Oat Brits and I cannot understand how Nestles allowed it to be released in its current form.

It is bland in taste and has the consistency of waterlogged cardboard in the bowl after the dry biscuits absorb added milk. The general impression is that the cereal has been overrefined / milled too fine and the resulting biscuits disintergrate to a most unappetising soggy mass upon addition of liquid.

While the creation of breakfast cereal which puts ticks in most boxes for health is to be encouraged, I think they have missed the point by failing to produce an appetising product.

I want to support and purchase Australian goods to keep jobs in this country but suspect predatory pricing by Coles / Woolies bleeding profits from manufacturers may be undermining innovation and product integrity in a market competing with imported products.

Perhaps greater effort with R&D and consumer testing prior to release instead of spending all the budget on packaging and marketing might result in a better outcome for consumers. Colourful packaging. Sealed packaging allows an extended storage / shelf life before opening. Easy to interpret core nutritional information on front of box. Bland , unpalatable taste, gluggy, cardboard like consistency once it absorbs milk or liquid. Heart tick is wasted on this product as it is so unappetising, regardless of the claimed health benefits.

Oat Brits was a great, healthy product – I miss this product. I hope it will be back. It tasted great and healthy. It should never have been discontinued. I hope a company will make Oat Brits again, exactly how it used to be. It was so healthy and tastie.

Please bring back oat brits - they are fabulous!!!! – I have always loved oat brits- much better for you and easy on the digestion. This is a wonderful way to get oats at breakfast without cooking porridge. I am sure the health conscious young ones would live them. Show details

Oat Brits for the gluten intolerant – The best option for gluten intolerant folks and so good for the gut and cholesterol. The Sorghum alternative tastes a little rancid in comparison. Please reconsider producing this healthy product again. Those with food limitations will appreciate it.  Show details

Please bring back Oat Brits – I am so disappointed that I can no longer purchase Oat Brits. I am unable to eat Weetbix due to pain and bloating. I have tried a range of other products but after years of eating Oat Brits I am unable to find a satisfying alternative. Please put them back on the Supermarket shelves. Leah Show details

Have been searching, please bring it back – I wondered why we couldn't find Oat Brits any more, it was my favourite cereal. We're adding our voices to the request to please bring Oat Brits back, it was a healthy option and didn't make me feel bloated, as the wheat products do.

Disappointing news – Oat Brit has always been a little difficult to find but I’m very disappointed that it’s not going to be available at all. I find that too much wheat upsets my stomach and Oat Brits was a healthy alternative. I also need to keep my cholesterol down and enjoyed Oar Brits in summer in particular.

Junk the junk cereals, not the good stuff – A great product. Healthy and not full of sugar like the plethora of other cereals (including Uncle Toby's). Let's keep the good stuff (highest percentage of oats) and not substitute it with high sugar, mixed cereal 'oat-like' products marketed as 'oats' !! Show details

Sadly now gone – Now owned by Nestle. Well I guess the only thing I can now do is go back to good old natural porridge sourced from an Australian owned and made brand. Being a diabetic and having a bad heart condition UNCLE TOBYS OAT-BRITS was the best on the market to keep cholesterol and blood sugars in check. I will now make a conscious effort to boycott any… Read more

products from the Nestle Group especially as they are non Australian and obviously don't give a damn about once loyal customers.

Oat Brits Too Good for the Australian Market? – So is the price of having foreign companies in charge of domestic manufacturing for Australian consumers that we no longer get a choice about what we "choose" to eat. Somewhere manufacturers seem to have forgotten that customers might take a lesson and abandon manufacturers too focused on profit. I will not substitute another Uncle Tobies product for Oat Brits,. In future I will just use Oat Bran and make my own museli. Show details

Uncle Toby's Oat Brits – Early in 2020 I noticed that Uncle Tobys Oat Brits was no longer on Sale at my local Coles Supermarket I assumed that was due to the Covid shopping frenzy, but on contacting Uncle Toby's Consumer Services was informed that it was a victim of the old saying ................"use it or lose it" Uncle Toby's Consumer Services was very apologetic… Read more

about the demise of Oat Brits.

It left me in a quandary as Oat Brits was one of the best Breakfast Cereals for those with Diabetes or people who just wanted a tasty healthy quick morning get up and go breakfast

So what next as as a replacement, it was not hard it boiled down to Uncle Tobys Vita Brits.

But I will always miss the great taste of Uncle Tobys Oat Brits.

Sometimes progress and consumerism is not all it's cracked up to be

l love the taste of Oat Brits, why stop making a Great Product? – This was the first Breakfast serial I used after being diagnosed with high Cholesterol, and due to lowering it I have continued using for the last 14 years.

Bring back OatBrits!!! – Dear Uncle Tobys. PLEASE bring back OatBrits. I can't eat weetbix as the wheat content is too high. OatBrits have been a staple of mine for years. I need this for my cholesterol maintenance. I realise oats are sometimes hard to come by depending on harvest conditions but this is a great product. PLEASE reconsider. Cheers. Show details

Maybe just needs renaming? – One of the best cereals as evidenced by reviews here. Lost on the supermarket shelves probably leading to low sales and hence the deletion. Maybe all that is required is a renaming? Use the "Vita Brits" name "with Oats"? I must have got one of the last boxes in Oz. Found at my local supermarket. Show details

Please bring it back – As per other reviews, this is for Diabetes assistance. If possible provide it at a price point of $6.00 as everyone waits for it to be put on special at $5. As such, is not appealing to the supermarket chains. If the majors don't want to stock it, please advise if this would be available at smaller outlets. Show details
