3 reasons most baby food isn't as good as it looks.
Healthy-sounding claims can hide a less impressive nutrition label.
Most baby food fails nutritional guidelines
In a 2024 study of 651 US baby foods, 60% failed WHO nutritional guidelines. The misses weren't subtle. 70% of products came up short on protein and one in four didn't meet calorie requirements.
Many pouches have more sugar than soda
In 2022, researchers measured the sugar in 109 baby food pouches. Over 1 in 4 contained more sugar by volume than cola, despite widespread claims of ‘no added sugar’. Dentists have stressed that as far as teeth are concerned there's little to no difference if the sugar is added or naturally occurring.
“No added sugar” doesn’t tell the whole story
Under FDA labeling rules, sugar that arrives as fruit puree doesn't count as “added”. “No added sugar” doesn't mean sugar-free. Check Total Sugars on the back, and note the serving size. That's how much food the number covers.
