Organic baby food may seem straightforward, but packaging can make it difficult to choose the right product quickly. A product with fruit on the front isn’t automatically suitable for every age. Words such as “natural” and “no added sugars” don’t tell the whole story either.
Look out for these three common pitfalls:
By checking the details, you can find organic baby food that suits your child’s age, eating development and daily routine.
From 6 months, you’ll often find smooth fruit purées, breakfast products and light snacks. Examples include fruit purée, fruit and yoghurt combinations, and baby corn puffs. Don’t just look for “from 6 months”; check the preparation instructions and texture too.
For example, you can squeeze a pouch onto a spoon or into a bowl. This gives you more control than letting your child drink straight from the pouch. Follow the instructions on the label and supervise your child while they eat.
From 12 months, more textures and snacks become available, such as organic fruit purées, date snacks and fruit strips. These products may be suitable for little ones to eat independently, but always check the warnings about choking and allergens.
For baby food labelled “no added sugars”, this usually means that no sugar, syrup or similar sweetener has been added. The natural sugars in apples, bananas, pears or mangoes are still there.
Look out for:
According to the product information, Organix Bio Pear & Raspberry 6+ Months Squeezies is made up of 90% pear and 10% raspberry. The packaging says no added sugars. According to the product description, Organix Corn Snacks with Carrot 6m+ 20g is made up of 80% corn, 10% carrot powder and 10% sunflower oil. This product contains cereals containing gluten.
“Organic” tells you about the source of the ingredients and their certification, but not necessarily about the amount of sugar, energy or allergens. Always check the current packaging before you buy.
Opened fruit purée often needs to be kept in the fridge and used within a limited time. Some products in the range state that they should be used within 24 or 48 hours of opening. The time may vary by brand and product.
Unopened products such as baby corn puffs and dried fruit snacks can generally be stored in a cool, dry place and kept tightly sealed. Throw away any packaging that is damaged, swollen or not properly sealed. Always follow the use-by date and current usage instructions on the packaging.
Why it suits this profile: A small pack containing 6 portions, according to the product information, and suitable from 6 months. Handy for introducing your little one to a light snack at their own pace.
The ingredients list is short and says no added salt. Do check for gluten, and offer the snack in a way that suits your child’s development.
Organic ingredients according to the product description, carrot powder for a different flavour and a 20-gram pack.
Why it suits this profile: This smooth breakfast combination brings together fruit, yoghurt and grains, making it a good option for parents who want to check ingredients and allergens carefully.
The product information clearly lists milk and oats as allergens, so you can choose it based on what your child has already eaten.
Suitable from 6 months, with 100 grams per pack and a recipe made with mango, peach, yoghurt, oats and rice.
Why it suits this profile: The pouch is designed for when you’re out and about, for example on a day out, and is suitable from 12 months.
The age guidance is clearly stated, and the instructions say to refrigerate the product after opening and use it within one day.
No added sugars according to the product information, vegan according to the product specifications, and a compact 100-gram pack.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the current European safety requirements.
No. The age guidance is a recommendation for the product, not personalised feeding advice. Check allergens, texture and usage instructions. If you’re unsure about introducing certain ingredients, speak to your health visitor or another healthcare professional.
No. Fruit purée naturally contains sugars from fruit. “No added sugars” means that, according to the product information, no extra sugar or sweetener has been added. So compare the nutritional information per 100 grams too.
It varies from product to product. The product information mentioned here gives a maximum fridge storage time of one day for various pouches. A 48-hour storage time is stated for some Olvarit and Ella’s Kitchen products. Always check the current packaging, and don’t use any leftovers that have been kept longer than recommended.
