Comparative Chart Showing Laboratory Test Results for Five Different Oatmeal Products

Hello! We just shared this on social media. The chart referenced is below. Please scroll down. Thanks for reading!
–
As noted on our website (in many places, in case you missed it), it is our commitment to re-test items on our “Lab Tested Safer Choices List” annually or more often (as funds permit).
–
Once our app is launched we expect to be re-testing safer choices more frequently, as the structure of the app should generate the funds to make it possible to do so.
–
If you would like to be among the first to see our app when it is launched (and if you would like to be considered as a Beta Tester for the app), please join us on Patreon to get alerts about those opportunities. Here’s our Patreon Link : patreon.com/LeadSafeMama

Here’s the link to our current Lab Tested Safer Choices List:

–
IF an item that is on the safer choices list tests positive for toxicants at-or-above the (most health protective) Action Levels proposed in 2021 when that item is re-tested, we will remove that item from our safer choices list (as our Lab-Tested Safer Choices list only includes items that fall below those thresholds).
–
The safer choices list (again, linked here and also in our instagram bio) currently includes 83 products we have tested and reported on to date: https://tamararubin.com/2025/06/81/
–
After re-testing the One Degree Rolled Oats (yellow bag) we removed that product from our safer choices list as it does not meet those very strict standards.
–
The One Degree Rolled Oats product is still the safest choice for an Oat Product that we have found to date (as you can see from the chart with this post). We also updated the original article with this information.

My family is going to continue to use this product for our oats choice until we can identify something cleaner – however given my husband has a pre-cancerous condition (and I also have a history of cancer), we will be eating less of it than we had previously (and I will be encouraging him not to consume it if at all possible).

Thank you.

The re-testing of the One Degree Rolled Oats and the separate testing of the One Degree Steel Cut Oats (both tested in May) was not funded or sponsored.
