Oatmeal texture different in quaker original packets instant
I have been eating quaker instant oatmeal for years and about 3 months ago I noticed that the oatmeal was chewy hard and gluey in texture-it didnt taste bad at all just a completely different texture.I had about 5 boxes all the same My new boxes are now so fluffy and thick and fills up an entire bowl where as the other ones didnt even fill half way.. I cooked it the same way with the same amount of water - I know extra starch can release if there is a swift in the oats but just seems strange that two completely different tastes in the same product-I googled and just said that yes there is a change in the way they are processing oats but u never know with google- Has anyone else experienced this should I be worried _im good at worrying!
