Ingredient Guide for Baby-food
Detailed insights into the ingredients we track in this category.
Ingredients We Avoid
Added Sugars
Any sugars added beyond what naturally occurs in fruits and vegetables, including glucose syrup, sucrose, and dextrose, which establish unhealthy taste preferences and contribute to early childhood obesity.
Added Salt
Sodium added during manufacturing that places unnecessary strain on immature infant kidneys and establishes a preference for salty foods that persists into adulthood.
Artificial Colours
Synthetic food dyes with no nutritional value that are flagged for potential links to hyperactivity and behavioural issues in young children whose developing systems are more vulnerable to chemical exposure.
Artificial Flavours
Synthetic chemical compounds used to create or enhance flavour that mask the natural taste of real ingredients and are entirely unnecessary in products for infants.
Carrageenan
A seaweed-derived thickening agent that some research links to intestinal inflammation, making it particularly unsuitable for the immature and sensitive digestive systems of infants.
Palm Oil
A cheap fat used for texture and shelf stability in baby food that research suggests may interfere with calcium and fat absorption in infants when used as a substitute for the fat profile found in breast milk.
Maltodextrin
A highly processed starch filler with a higher glycaemic index than table sugar, used to bulk out products cheaply with no nutritional benefit for growing infants.
Starch Thickeners
Modified starches used to improve texture and extend shelf life that dilute the nutritional density of baby food without providing any nutritional benefit to the infant.
Preservatives
Chemical additives including sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate used to extend shelf life, entirely unnecessary in properly heat-processed baby food and potentially harmful to developing systems.
Flavour Enhancers
Compounds like yeast extract used to boost palatability that are not appropriate for infants whose palates should be developing through exposure to real whole food flavours.
Beneficial Ingredients
Whole Fruit Puree
Minimally processed whole fruit providing natural sugars, fibre, vitamins, and phytonutrients in their most bioavailable form, establishing healthy early taste preferences.
Whole Vegetable Puree
Minimally processed whole vegetables providing essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre that support healthy development and establish a broad palate from an early age.
Iron
A critical mineral for infant brain development and red blood cell formation, particularly important from six months when breast milk iron alone becomes insufficient to meet growing needs.
Zinc
An essential trace mineral supporting immune function, growth, and neurological development that is critical during the rapid growth phase of infancy.
DHA (Omega-3)
A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component of the brain and retina, supporting cognitive development and visual acuity in infants.
Vitamin C
An essential nutrient that supports immune function and significantly enhances the absorption of plant-based iron, making it a particularly valuable addition to vegetable-based baby foods.
Organic Ingredients
Ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers, reducing the infant's exposure to chemical residues during the most vulnerable period of development.
Prebiotic Fibre (Inulin/FOS)
Natural plant fibres that selectively feed beneficial gut bacteria, supporting the development of a healthy infant microbiome that influences immunity and digestion for life.
Prunes
A naturally sweet whole food that provides sorbitol and fibre to gently support digestive regularity in infants, avoiding the need for any chemical laxative additives.
Legumes (Lentils, Chickpeas)
Whole legume purees that provide plant-based protein, iron, zinc, and fibre in a highly bioavailable form that supports healthy growth and development.
