Review of 'Quaker' Real Medleys Oatmeal+ (Peach Almond)

Quaker -- Real Medleys Oatmeal+ (Peach Almond) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: very good on flavour (e.g. 4.5/5). The best part is the roasted almond bits and very authentic peach flavour. The ingredients are good and the nutritional profile is amazing. The only downside is that the Brand, Quaker, continues to product products that include trans fats, artificial ingredients, and GMOs. For this reason, I reduced the rating and I would not recommend this product.
