Why iron fortified?

Insufficient iron intake from food is one of the biggest challenges for infants and toddlers. Reasons are very logical.

  1. Food portions are small, especially when solid foods are introduced.

2. Food is low in iron, especially during the first year of life (veggies, fruits, porridges).

3. Daily iron need for infants and toddlers is very high – 7-10 mg according to Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. Just to compare this amount, an adult man needs around 9 mg daily.

4. Toddlers have often periods when they are picky eaters.

Our baby food is fortified with iron to support the daily iron intake. Iron is added based on guidelines from European Commission. All iron-fortified baby food is suitable for daily use. Iron-fortified food is not a food supplement.

Iron-fortified baby food differs from ordinary baby food only in that sense that it includes a small amount of iron to meet the daily demand. Iron does not affect the taste. On the contrary, organic iron fortified porridges have a nice texture and delicious taste that is difficult to resist. The recipe has also been approved by our babies and toddlers! 🙂

Bon appetit!

Pure organic ingredients and iron

We use strictly tested and controlled organic certified ingredients and high-quality iron bisglycinate that may already be familiar from our iron supplements. Iron bisglycinate has high bioavailability and does not react easily with different food substances making it an ideal iron salt for our baby food.

Developed and tested in Estonia

All baby food is developed in Estonia. We also test the iron content of each batch.

Pure purees and berries without juice concentrates

Our baby food also does not contain juice concentrates, which contain a lot of natural sugar. We only use 100% organic fruit and berry purees in our porridges and smoothies.

Charity

Charity is one of our most important values. For every product purchased we donate 1 cent to local children´s charity foundation Lastefond.

Without added rapeseed oil

Our baby food does not contain added rapeseed oil. Rapeseed oil contains erucic acid, which occurs naturally in vegetable oils and fats, and for which there is a maximum safe daily intake. This can be more easily exceeded in infants due to their low weight if a lot of ready-made foods with rapeseed oil are used.

Gluten-free

All porridges, both in jars and pouches, are gluten-free. Vegetable purees, 4+ months, are also gluten-free according to the regulation.
