Milk alternatives
I think there is a lot of carotenoids in it, not sure.
I have been avoiding it since a personal experience. I overdid plant-based omega 3s during a week and ended unable to focus at work on friday. I was literaly staring at my screen and my brain was not processing. I could only function if I was actively interacting with someone.

Organic non-fortified oat drink (Oatly) which is pretty blend so I used ut for pancakes and such. I like the non-organic better because it is creamier (due to added oils) but they are all fortified in my country. I am/was a huge milk fan so no substitute is good enough, but oatmilk is the least horrible solution (and the cleanest too: water, oats, salt)
I avoided oatly specifically because of the added canola oil, thanks for informing me about the organic version 
Whats the problem with Canola oil? Sorry, i'm new to this whole thing so still learning.
I suspect there is quite a bit of carotenoids in it, it's so deep yellow. But i'm not sure. But it seems to be inflammatory for me in either case, it doesn't make me feel good at all.

I personally avoid canola oil because it is not a natural food, as in no one eats the plant yet the oil is in everything. But do not obsess about it.
Dr G does mention most/all refined oils should be okay, vit a wise. But ofc it is always best to listen to one's body.

Forgive me if i'm missing something. The Oatly product I have doesn't mentioned canola oil anywhere in the ingredients. It has rapeseed oil in, which according to nutritional information doesn't contain any Vitamin A, despite being bright yellow.
Again, sorry for my ignorance, I understand there's probably something I'm missing here.
In other words, don't take this away from me, haha! It's such a nice alternative to milk in coffee and tea. I may even prefer it to milk due to the fact it's got more of a creamy quality to it.

I have just looked on their website and I clicked the US version and it looks like they fortify their product with Vitamin A is in the US, however, they don't do that in the UK thankfully.

I just had pacific foods brand (organic) original oat beverage. It was pretty good.

Rapeseed oil is the same as canola oil. They renamed canola because rapeseed sounds terrible. I think a derivative of Canada oil, something like that.

Oatly is a swedish product and we use the term rapeseed directly translated. But it is canola (as in low-erucic), as the original form for rapeseed is poisonous due to high levels of erucic acid, but it is basically the same 🙂 it probably contains swedish grown rapeseed/canola though.
And I forgot to mention previoisly, the organic Oatly is not fortified in SE, and also has no oil in it. But this could differ from other countries though so please check labels to make sure 🙂

Thanks for all the input -
Realistically, how much vitamin A from the Oatly product and other products containing rapeseed oil would actually affect me? I know the body only converts something like 5% of beta carotene to vitamin A and if i'm eating low vitamin A in other areas, is this something that I can afford to 'cheat' on with the diet.
There's a couple of things i consume containing rapeseed oil. I mean, to be honest, I was only really having a couple of coffee's and tea's a day with a Oatly in, so 5% of that small amount can't equate to much in my system.
