Jungle Oats 500g

Jungle Oats is a South African / African brand of rolled oats / oatmeal. It’s marketed as a wholesome, wholegrain breakfast cereal.

• The 500 g pack is a standard size for retail consumers.

• It is often used as porridge, overnight oats, in baking, smoothies, etc.

• Many listings emphasize that it’s “100% wholegrain oats” (rolled oats) with no artificial additives.

• The brand packaging in some markets shows “Kosher” and “Halaal” status for this product.

• Storage: store in a cool, dry place; seal well after opening.

Ingredients

According to the “Pillow 500 g” spec from Tiger / Jungle brand:

• Oats (gluten) — including rolled oat flakes and oat bran

• Salt

• Flavouring (unspecified)

• Vitamins (A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, D3, E)

• Electrolytic iron

From Open Food Facts, the ingredient breakdown is:

Rolled oat flakes (oats, gluten) (85%), oat bran (oats, gluten) (13%), salt, flavouring, vitamins (A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, D3, E) and electrolytic iron.

So in summary, the core is oats + a small amount of salt + fortification (vitamins, iron) + flavourings.

Suitability & Notes
