I alway buy the variety packs of Quaker Oatmeal, like brownsuger and apple, maple surp and brown suger etc. Well I always find one little black flake in each package. I started keeping an eye on these package to see If it was only a small oatmeal flake over cooked. But nope that black flake is in every package. What is this and why is it in the packages?

It's a burnt oatmeal flake. I find them, too, but it's not harmful. I tasted one it just tastes burned. No big deal. Or you can pick it out and enjoy the rest. My fav is Peaches and Cream!

Based on your discover, it sounds like a piece of burnt oat flake. It can happened from time to time, which is why you dont see it in every packet. It isnt harmful at all. You dont even realize you are eating it. Enjoy!

I don't know anything about that but that but Cream of Wheat's Apple N' Cinnamon is so much better than any oatmeal. Try it!

hasn't your mother ever told you to never inspect your food. you won't eat anything if you do. lol.
and I think it's just a random thing you're over thinking. don't worry about it and enjoy the wonder that is oatmeal!

Buy real oatmeal, those packets are crap. packed full of artificial flavors and sugars.
