Are they required by law to ensure that whatever is written on the label is in fact true? I recall an incident in Australia where a group of high school kids performed their own analysis of Ribena Blackcurrent Juice (Who market there product with the slogan Contains more Vitamin C than oranges They found that Ribena actually had next to no Vitamin C content. So I wonder, is this just ONE product that has been found out?If the jars of food I buy for my baby list the only ingredients as say eg. Pumpkin, Sweet Corn and Water (added during cooking to ensure appropriate texture) and that it contains no additives, flavours, thickeners, added sugar or salt and is gluten freeHow do we know they're not just sayng that?!?!FYII mostly always home cook for my baby unless we are out which is rarely!! and then I feed him baby food :)
We don't. I remember the ribena incident too. With my first child, being young believing everything products said I used to give it to my daughter alot, until I found out it was all sugar.I know exactly what you are saying. I hated giving my babies baby food. I too made my own, used the shop bought stuff when we were away. We really don't know what we are feeding our babies with jars of baby food do we.
I was just researching this tonight. What I read was that they are all very similar for the stage one foods. Stage 2 and 3, Gerber is actually one of the worst. Growing up Healthy was the best, but that is hard to find. Beech Nut was also pretty good. However, Beech Nut also has some foods with fillers. I'm just going to try and make my own baby food. That way I KNOW what is in there.
Yea the are pretty good for their price.
