Why did you change the sachet without even mention it? it used to be thick and can stand up by itself but now it is just a piece of thin paper that I can barely hold it!! Do you ever realise that one hand is holding milk / water the other hand is holding the sachet plus, need to watch the liquid coming up to that line which the old sachet is very… Read more
steady while you are holding it, the new ones would not stand the water pressure.. what a disaster by using this to save $ thought no one would have notice it!! She'll be right cr^p! the question of were you offered a reward for submitting this review is an absolute insult to all of your supporters who bought your product and leave honest review! Shame on you!
I purchased this in a 20 pack. The next day after eating this for breakfast my family and me were very sick from this with an upset stomach so I would definitely avoid buying this. Show details
Follow-up · I contacted Coles Mooroolbark about the issue and they just gave me a refund. Me and my family just had an upset stomach. No there was nothing unusual about the oats before eating them.
Absolutely useless – What an absolute screw up of an idea. Far too inconsistent to be useable. I either spend my entire work break edging closer, a few seconds of cooking time a shot, trying to turn this lukewarm milky soup into something edible, or waste my whole break cleaning an unholy mess out of the work microwave. Just useless! Do yourself a favour, throw this crap in the garbage, and just make a sandwich like a normal person. Show details

Excellent overall experience – I tried it for the first time and having excellent experience! The soft taste and the oats are soft/easy to digest! I will give five stars to taste and oats digestion!
Not good – Very gritty, I have changed the cooking requirements, both for the microwave and stove top, increased the liquid but it still remains gritty, as my 84 year old mum says.. did you put cous cous in it?? No where near as good as the creamy original recipe. I cannot and would not buy or recommend this product to anyone. P.s I have grown up eating Uncle Toby’s rolled oats.
Repulsed at TOE NAIL in breakfast – Found something hard in my morning oats and turns out to be a LARGE NAIL with blood .. completely repulsed!!! Will never be buying from their brand again. Completely mortified.
Wth was in my sachet – See the below image. This was inside one of my sachets. They said it's likely product build-up. I'm not sure what product build-up looks like, so it might be. It looked a bit more 'meaty' to me.. Show details

I EAT THE PLAIN UNCLE TOBYS – I start every day with my uncle tobys oats , I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety and I have to have my uncle tobys every morning like I have all my life im 77 and really happy when uncle tobys started making sachets. Now I cant buy any I dont know whet to do . Please put them back on the market Show details
Love only this flavour but can't buy it in Portland, Victoria – This is the best flavour and only flavour in the range that I like, and I haven't been able to purchase it in my local supermarkets for about six months or more.
A good start to the day – I have been having this cereal for breakfast for quite a few years but just lately finding it impossible to find in the supermarkets! this is the best flavour in the whole range so it is disappointing not having it. Show details
Negative reviews
Not like it used to be (texture blergh!) – Texture has changed a lot compared to how it used to be a few years ago. Now feels like you’re eating chalky chaff or gruel. I assume it’s cos Uncle Toby is a miserly c*nt like your old great uncle who rations food like it’s 1944 and strains out all the good oats before serving, so he can recook the same oats and make them last for the rest of the week.

Stick with traditional oats and add the rest yourself – The blueberry one with the 10g extra protein is gross. Full of lumps no matter how much milk/water you add. Avoid! Show details

Just awful why change the product – In a word it was inedible was my partner’s comment, why do they have to change it, throw it in the bin, were the other comments. He has been eating the mixed flavour packs of quick oats for years. Makes it himself every winter morning, and knows exactly how much fluid and time it takes in our microwave to make the perfect slurry for him but not now. He’s very unhappy Show details

Very disappointed in your product – You have deliberately reduced the quantity of your big bowl over the last few months! I have complained before to you and promised a product which never arrived. This doesn’t matter!! It’s the deception that matters. You treat your customers like fools! Show details
What is it? – Over the last few months the sachets of oats have been clumpy. It also shines. I had to wonder if plastic was in them. Changed brands for a month which was good but then they weren't available so tried Uncle Toby's again. Unfortunately no good. They used to be really good.
terrible product. It has a strange taste compared to other oats – If you have digestive problems don't buy this. I have been constantly throwing up whenever I eat this off-brand oat sachets. It has a strange taste and the contents do not look like real oats, more like refined powder. There are better brands to choose from I definitely don't recommend eating this. Show details
The packets are getting smaller and the price is going up – I enjoy porridge in winter and have always bought Uncle Toby's. I adjust the water and milk to my liking and for me the taste is pleasant although I don't really taste the honey. I observed the changes to sizing over the last two or three years. Firstly I bought the standard sachets and they shrunk after a year or two, and were very small… Read more
servings about the size for a small child's serving. I bought the BIG BOWL 30% extra and at first it was the perfect size. But lately the serving size has gone down, shrunk to the same as standard size and that's been for the last two packets I've bought. So I've had to use two sachets to get the original BIG BOWL and pay more for each packet of eight sachets, which I think was 10 in the original. What is going on Uncle Toby? I feel ripped off in size and price. I am left to think that profit means more to the company than your customers.
New improved not improved – Texture is horrible, mouthfeel is slimy. So I changed brands 2 months ago after 4 years of having a serve of this porridge every day. Well done Uncle Tobys on fixing something that didn’t need fixing. Show details
Thank's Uncle Toby, I am forced to find a replacement :-( – Wow! This is a great example of the 'Marketing' department of a company destroying what was a great product. I have been buying this product for years and had nothing but praise. Unfortunatley the new formula is watery and it dissapoints in the taste department. Additionally, the serving is smaller (for the same consistency compared to the original formula) we get two less servings per pack. Not happy! Show details
Why The Change? – I have enjoyed Uncle Toby’s High Fibre Quick Oats for a few years now. Now, I too am not a “ new recipe” fan. Why change a good thing? Also noticed now only 8 satchets in carton. Was previously 10. Very disappointed Uncle Toby’s. Show details
Disappointing new recipe – Uncle Toby have changed the recipe for their Hi Fibre quick oats why? Their original recipe was so nice The new one is nowhere as good it seems to have no body to it the texture is not good. I won't be buying it any more will have to find something else why o why do companies change good recipes. Show details

Creamy quick healthy breakfast – It is my favourite breakfast meal every day before I go to work. It's highly recommended. If you want to buy quality and affordable nutritious food, buy Uncle Tobys Oat Fast Sachet! Show details
Some sort of lumpy soup – Not something I’ll purchase again, I’ll be looking for a different brand. What happened to using normal oats? The result is some sort of soup and not porridge. Are you even using real oats or is it some sort of processed powder? I can confirm I did use the correct amount of milk as stated on the packet. Do not recommend. Show details
Excellent – I was given a sample packet to try of the Apple and Cinnamon and I really like it. I will be buying for myself now and will look out for other flavours to try. Show details
MAKE IT YOURSELF – Used to purchase these fast and easy ways to make breakfast but then realised that there is sugar in all of packaged cereals. Get rolled oats from supermarket and put in fresh fruit with no sugar! Eat fresh and you will be healthy. Show details
The vanilla variety pack – The best flavors ever are the peach and the blueberry I am so happy with them the best pack uncle Toby’s have ever released I would suggest them to anyone, it is a shame Woolworths have removed them nationally I’m going to have to stop buying your products Show details
Yum! – The portion size is perfect for me. I have a piece a fruit as well for breakfast. Taste is great, keeps blood sugar stable and great for keeping the weight on check.
So disappointed – On opening sachet found cereal mixture with 2 minute strawberry pieces. I then tried blueberry with the same result. Have had to go and buy fresh fruit varieties so that I might have a decent meal of this.I still have receipt showing purchase but am unable to upload proof of purchase.
Tasted off – Have had it many times BUT THIS packet tastes of off milk. I threw out my milk and bought new milk thinking it was that. But the same thing happened with 3 sachets. Have thrown out the lot and won't buy again
