Better Oats® is a “Hit” for the Supermarket Guru®
MINNEAPOLIS (August 14, 2012) – Better Oats, an innovative instant oatmeal brand made by MOM Brands™, has announced its RAW Pure & Simple Pomegranate was named a “HIT!” by Supermarket Guru Phil Lempert in his weekly “New Products Hits & Misses” segment. Lempert gave the innovative instant oatmeal flavor a rating of 95 out of 100, calling out that the “flavor and aroma add just the right touch” to a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
“We’re in rare and elite company, as we are only one of seven products reviewed from January to mid-July to get a 95 or above. That speaks volumes to our great taste and affordability,” said Linda Fisher, director of marketing communications for MOM Brands, Better Oats’ parent company. “People like Phil Lempert are taking notice and recognizing that Better Oats truly is a better breakfast at a better price, and we couldn’t agree more.”
All of Lempert’s reviews for “Hits & Misses” – that airs on hundreds of national TV stations and online – are based on eight criteria: taste, value, health, ingredients, preparation, appearance, packaging and sustainability. The pomegranate flavor – made with real fruit, 32 grams of whole grains, flax seeds, and organic quinoa and barley – received a perfect score in six of the eight criteria. Lempert also praised the built-in measuring cup feature of the pouch, making it “easy and convenient” for cooking.
Besides the pomegranate, Better Oats has 22 other unique and innovative flavors like Lavish® Dark Chocolate, Oat Revolution® Very Berry, MMM…Muffins® Blueberry and RAW Pure & Simple Chai Spiced. As the first innovative new production in the sleepy instant oatmeal category in many years, Better Oats quickly achieved solid national distribution in its first year and a 4% market share1, based on pounds sold, in the instant oats/multigrain category.
