Babylife Organics, a new company from the creators of Made in Nature, is launching a line of Regenerative Organic Certified® baby food that undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals at every stage of the supply chain. This commitment to transparency includes publishing verified test results for every batch, setting a new standard for the industry.
Babylife Organics, a new company founded by the team behind Made in Nature, has launched a line of Regenerative Organic Certified® baby food that is tested for heavy metals at four stages of the supply chain. The company also publishes verified, third-party test results for every batch, making it the first and only brand to provide such complete transparency. Babylife Organics aims to address the growing concern over heavy metal contamination in baby food by prioritizing soil health and transparency.
A new study has revealed that a large percentage of baby food products sold in US grocery stores fall short of recommended nutritional guidelines. The study, conducted by the George Institute for Global Health, found that up to two-thirds of baby foods contain high levels of sugar, salt, and low levels of essential nutrients. The study also highlights the misleading marketing practices employed by manufacturers, further contributing to the problem.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has implemented stricter controls on food imports, restricting clearances to 155 authorized entry points. This move aims to enhance food safety by ensuring that imported products meet Indian standards. The FSSAI is also expanding its investigation of baby food, including brands other than Nestle, following concerns about added sugar.
A recent investigation has revealed that Nestlé, the global food and beverage giant, adds sugar to its baby food products in low- and middle-income countries, despite recommendations from health organizations against it. In high-income countries, Nestlé’s baby foods do not contain added sugars. This double standard has raised concerns among experts, who argue that adding sugar to baby foods can lead to children developing a preference for sugary diets and unhealthy eating habits.
