Oatly Launches New 1.5L Barista Oat Milk Multipack at UK Retail Stores

Oatly is expanding its best-selling Barista oat milk range in the UK with a new multipack featuring three 1.5L cartons in a portable carrier.

Oatly’s “Post Milk Generation” Trademark Rejected by UK Court Amid Dairy Industry Pushback

The UK Court of Appeal has ruled that Swedish plant-based drink brand Oatly cannot use the slogan “Post Milk Generation” on its food and beverage products, a decision that overturns a previous ruling by the High Court. The decision marks the latest chapter in a prolonged legal dispute between Oatly and Dairy UK, the trade association representing the UK’s dairy industry. The case has been ongoing since 2019, when Oatly registered the slogan as a trademark with the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO). Dairy UK contested the trademark, arguing that the term “milk” should only be used to describe products derived from mammals, in accordance with European Union regulations on agricultural products. Specifically, Article 78(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 stipulates that terms like “milk” …

New Oatly Campaign Aims to Convince Brits to Try Oat Milk in Tea

Oatly has launched a new 360 integrated campaign with the aim of convincing Brits that oat milk works in tea.

In fact, just 4% of tea drinkers said they use a plant-based alternative, while 31% said they would be surprised to see someone drink tea with plant-based milk. The “It Works in Tea” campaign will feature OOH advertisements including billboards in Brighton, London, and Manchester, along with digital and in-store promotions and PR.

Between Hype and Reality: Oatly and Beyond Meat as a Reflection of the Industry?

The food sector is in the midst of radical change, driven by innovations in alternative proteins, AgTech and sustainable food production. While ‘new food’ companies have grown strongly in recent years, doubts are now emerging about their future viability, which are manifested in a much more difficult financing environment.
