Ingredient Intelligence

We supply six formats, all processed at our integrated facility in Walla Walla, NSW: Whole Oat Groats (hulled and KDHO), Rolled Oats (6 grades from Jumbo to Instant, 0.3–1.0mm thickness), Steel-Cut Oats (4 grades from Coarse to Scottish), Oat Bran (standard ≥5.5% or high-concentrate ≥7.0% β-glucan), Oat Flour (5 grades including Colloidal and Low Viscosity for beverages), and Oat Fibre (≥85% total dietary fibre). Every format is produced from specification-grade Australian oats with batch-level traceability.

KDHO stands for Kiln-Dried Hulled Oats. After hulling, groats undergo controlled heat treatment that deactivates lipase — the enzyme responsible for fat oxidation and rancidity. This is critical for any downstream product (flour, rolled oats, bran) because it extends shelf life and prevents off-flavours. If your supplier ships unstabilised groats, your flour will go rancid within weeks. All Avryll rolled oats and flour are produced exclusively from KDHO.

We supply at full container load (FCL) scale. Our ordering tiers are structured around monthly volume: under 5 containers/month, 5–10 containers/month, or 10+ containers/month. We offer flexible Incoterms including FOB, CIF, and CFR. Contact us with your volume requirements and we’ll provide a tailored quotation.

Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific test results for moisture, purity, protein, and β-glucan content. We also provide commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, phytosanitary certification, and LC-compliant documentation. Our facility is MICoR export registered and operates ISO-documented batch tracing throughout the processing chain.

Yes. There are no genetically modified oat varieties approved for commercial cultivation anywhere in the world, including Australia. All oats we supply are inherently non-GMO. Australia’s regulatory framework under the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) adds an additional layer of oversight.

Australia’s south-east growing regions — particularly the Riverina at 37.5°S latitude — produce oats with consistently high β-glucan content (3–8% DW) due to the specific combination of cool winters, dry harvest conditions (November–January), and well-drained soils. Unlike Northern Hemisphere harvests that contend with autumn rain and high moisture, the Australian harvest window is dry, reducing mycotoxin risk and the need for post-harvest chemical treatment.

Oats are naturally free of wheat, barley, and rye gluten proteins. However, conventional oats are almost always cross-contaminated during growing, transport, or processing. Standard oat ingredients — including ours — are processed in facilities that also handle wheat-family grains and are not certified gluten-free. If your product requires gluten-free certification (FDA threshold: <20 ppm, GFCO: <10 ppm), discuss your requirements with us directly.

Oat β-glucan holds approved health claims in three major regulatory markets. FDA (21 CFR 101.81): 3g/day of oat β-glucan may reduce the risk of heart disease — requires ≥0.75g per serving. EFSA (EU Reg. 1160/2011): approved claims for cholesterol reduction, blood glucose modulation, and digestive health — requires 3g/day. Health Canada: approved cardiovascular health claim framework. The specific claim language and qualifying thresholds differ by jurisdiction.

It depends on the format. Whole Oat Groats: 3–8% DW. Rolled Oats: ≥3.0% DW. Steel-Cut Oats: ≥4.0% DW. Oat Bran (standard): ≥5.5% DW. Oat Bran (high-concentrate): ≥7.0% DW. β-glucan content is tested and reported on every batch COA. If your formulation targets a specific β-glucan threshold for a health claim, we can advise on the right format and grade.

We typically recommend Oat Flour — Low Viscosity grade (UHT-stable) or Colloidal grade (optimised for beverage viscosity). These are milled from KDHO to defined particle sizes (≤200μm) for consistent enzyme hydrolysis. The key challenge in oat milk is managing the 50–60% starch content during UHT processing — our Low Viscosity flour is specifically designed for this. Rolled Oats (Quick or Instant) are also used by some manufacturers depending on their process.

MICoR (Manual of Importing Country Requirements) is the Australian government database that defines export rules for every destination country. It specifies what phytosanitary treatments, inspections, and documentation your shipment needs to clear customs in your country. Being MICoR export registered means our facility meets the compliance standards required by Australia’s Department of Agriculture to export prescribed goods. This protects you from shipments being rejected or delayed at your port.

Rolled Oats and Steel-Cut: 18–24 months when stored in cool, dry conditions. Oat Flour: approximately 6–12 months depending on storage. Oat Groats (KDHO): 18–24 months. The kilning process is what makes this possible — by deactivating lipase enzymes before milling or rolling, we prevent the fat oxidation that causes rapid rancidity in unstabilised oat products. Storage recommendations: cool (below 25°C), dry, away from direct heat and light.

Yes. Our oat flour and rolled oat grades can be produced to the tighter specifications required for infant food applications, including stricter limits on moisture, microbiological counts, and contaminant levels. Infant cereal formulations typically require compliance with Codex Alimentarius standards for energy density and nutrient composition. Contact us with your specific regulatory requirements and we’ll confirm whether our current production meets your specs or if a custom specification run is needed.

We export across Asia Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia), South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan), Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar), Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt), Pacific (New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea), and select markets in Europe and North America. Each destination has specific import requirements — we handle the phytosanitary certification, documentation, and compliance for every shipment.

Yes. Contact us through the enquiry form with your product interest, target application, and any specification requirements. We’ll arrange samples of the relevant format and grade so your technical team can evaluate before committing to a production order. Typical response time is 1–2 business days.
