Where can you buy them. ashamedly I let mine go out of date. I used to buy them from Ilelli but they don`t seem to stock them now.



Looked in other supermarkets but no joy.

There was a batch of MORNINGFLAKE oats a month or 2 back which were awful, bad taste and bitter hopefully new stock will be better. we stocked up in the South but have now run out again, will post if we find any.

I'd take a pass on those!!



I brought from Ileli and had to take them all back....I'm not surprised they dont do them anymore as they seem to contain more then what it said on the packet!!!

Little bugs that can be past for a dark oaties!!



Makes me feel sick thinking about it! Although I got off lightly as I realised, but by the time I told my mum....She had finished hers :/ opps!



Note If you look the packets have got small holes in which I realised after....Cereals like that need to be well packed.



Good Luck!

I've had them, they are the worst oats ever. We threw it away.

Ilelli had boxes of Jordans oats last week. Very nice they are too.

islandgirl - we had one of those as well. Bought two packets at the same time (also from Ilelli) but the second packet was fine.



Avci81 - thank goodness I realised something was wrong after one spoonful and that I am only reading your post now......lol.

Supreme are also selling Jordan's Quick and Creamy and Jumbo flakes at 6.99TL for 750g. I've tried the Quick and Creamy ones and they are fine. They have a recipe on the side of the pack for cookies which is excellent but very naughty...

I bought some morningflake oats on the south side and mine was also full of little moth type things...they were nesting in the bag.

The Jordans jumbo oats are really nice and better than the Morningflakes (IMO).

I must have been really lucky as I never had a problem with the Moonflakes and it is only that I had got out of the habit of eating porridge that I thought best not to use the old opened packet.



I had only seen the creamy porridge which is no alternative really.



Used to enjoy the Oats so simple in the UK.

Jordan's jumbo oats are delicious and are brilliant used in cookies! And of course oats are a great way to reduce cholesterol!
