What to know about Urban Platter OatWOW Classic Oat Beverage
A light oat drink that leans on added vitamins
Urban Platter OatWOW Classic is a 1 L carton of oat drink made from water, oats (16%), sunflower oil, two stabilisers (calcium carbonate and gellan gum), sea salt and added vitamins D2, B12 and B2. It is sold to people who avoid dairy or lactose and want something for coffee, cutting chai or breakfast cereal.
A 200 ml serve, five to a carton, gives 140 kcal, 2 g protein, 1.6 g fibre, 5.4 g fat and 70 mg sodium. Total sugar is 4 g per 100 ml, so 8 g a glass, and the panel declares 0 g added sugar. Calcium is 120 mg per 100 ml, 240 mg a glass, and it is added.
The name and pack promise an oat drink that is lactose-free, plant-based and vegan, and the list backs that up: oats come straight after water and no dairy ingredient appears. The thing to know is that protein is low and the vitamin and calcium credit is added, not native. CleanPlate scores it [F]CA1.
Why Urban Platter OatWOW Classic Oat Beverage scores [F]CA1
Nutrition is a C because protein is only 1.0 g per 100 ml and the grade depends on added calcium and vitamins. Ingredients are an A on a short list, and risk is a 1 on low sugar, salt and saturated fat.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 1 g
- Fibre
- 0.8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D
- Energy
- 70 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 1.0 g per 100 ml and fibre 0.8 g, mostly from the oats, so the food itself earns no core credit. The grade comes from the micronutrient bonus: calcium 120 mg, vitamin D 0.75 mcg and B12 0.38 mcg per 100 ml, all added.
Without that fortification the nutrition grade would be an E, which is why the [F] flag sits on the code. A 200 ml glass has 2 g protein and 140 kcal.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and plain: water, oats at 16%, sunflower oil, sea salt and vitamins. There is no added sugar, no flavouring, no dye and no hydrogenated fat.
Calcium carbonate (170) and gellan gum (418) each cost a small number of ingredient points, as stabilisers. Nothing on the pack is a hollow promise, so there is no label-integrity penalty.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is a 1. Sodium is 35 mg and saturated fat 0.4 g per 100 ml, and added sugar is 0 g, so sugar plays no part.
Energy is the largest single part at 70 kcal per 100 ml, and even that is modest. A 200 ml glass has 70 mg sodium and 0.8 g saturated fat.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.

What's in Urban Platter OatWOW Classic Oat Beverage?
Water, oats and sunflower oil lead a short list. The stabilisers are small costs, and the calcium and vitamins are added rather than coming from the oats.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water comes first, then oats at 16%, which give the body and the natural sweetness. Sunflower oil adds creaminess. Calcium carbonate (170) and gellan gum (418) are stabilisers: the first adds calcium and the second keeps the oats from settling. Sea salt seasons it, and vitamins D2, B12 and B2 are added.
