Toast or Bake Rogers Foods Raw Oats, Wheat & Raw Grain Blends (Important Safety Step)

Flour, oats and raw grain blends (which may include whole grains such as oats, rye, barley, spelt, etc.) are not cooked during preparation. These are raw agricultural products that can carry harmful bacteria such as E. coli or Salmonella, just like raw flour.

Why toasting oats, bran, and grain blends in no-bake recipes is essential for safety (not just flavour): Grains grow in fields and can become contaminated through contact with soil, water, or animal waste. Without a “kill step” like baking, boiling, frying, or roasting, these bacteria can remain present.

Rogers Foods specifically recommends cooking, baking, or toasting our oats, bran, and grain blends before consumption, even in no-bake recipes, to reduce these potential food safety risks.

Quick How-To: Stovetop Toasting (Recommended for Safety)

1. Place the rolled oats, wheat, bran and/or Rogers raw grain blend in a dry skillet or frying pan (no oil needed).
2. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. Stir constantly to prevent burning and adjust the heat as needed.
3. Remove from heat right away and let cool completely before mixing into your recipe.

Alternative Oven Method (for bigger batches): Spread in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 325°F to 350°F (160°C to 175°C) for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden. Cool fully before using.

This simple toasting step acts as a home “kill step” to make your no-bake recipes safer, especially important for vulnerable groups like young children, pregnant people, older adults, or those with weakened immune systems. It’s quick, needs no extra ingredients, and provides peace of mind!
