Quaker Oat So Simple Original porridge

Quaker Oat So Simple is a popular range of instant porridge oats designed for convenience and nutrition. The brand's heritage dates back to 1877, when the Quaker Mill Company was registered in Ohio, USA. Since its inception, the brand has become synonymous with whole-grain energy and heart-healthy breakfasts, particularly known for its iconic 'Quaker Man' logo representing the values of integrity, honesty, and purity.

While the brand originated in the United States, Quaker Oats has a massive manufacturing presence globally. For the United Kingdom and European markets, the products are primarily milled and manufactured at the Quaker cup mill in Cupar, Scotland, using locally sourced oats. This regional manufacturing ensures that the product meets specific local dietary preferences and packaging standards, such as the 'Great Taste' award and the traffic-light nutritional labeling visible on the box.

Today, the brand is owned by PepsiCo, a global food and beverage giant headquartered in the United States. PepsiCo acquired the Quaker Oats Company in 2001, integrating it into its extensive portfolio of nutritional brands. In the UK, the brand is managed under the PepsiCo UK & Ireland subsidiary, ensuring widespread distribution across major retail channels while maintaining the brand's long-standing reputation for quality and natural energy release.
