"babyfood" news and stories

No, I don't have a baby yet, but I will admit that in high school, I used to eat baby food because they were easy to carry to cheerleading practice, and seemed healthier than the normal non-baby snacks.

Gerber has announced a new line of baby foods called Recetas Latinas, fruits, vegetables, dinner, and desserts in Latin flavors. While the fruit and vegetable flavors like mango, manzana (apple) and calabacita (zucchini) sound no more Latin than except for having a Spanish name, the dinners come in flavors like Jamon y Salsa de Papaya (Ham with Papaya Salsa) and Carne Asada.

Now if only Gerber would do an Asian line...pureed unagi sushi as baby food!

China has officially given all 43 varieties of Heinz baby food products the clear from GM influence.

Greenpeace had claimed that Heinz baby cereal products designed, I think, specifically for the Chinese market, contained genetically modified ingredients. Heinz denied the claim but the Ministry of Agriculture in China decided to put the products through a series of tests to find out.

The official Xinhua News Agency has reported that the products and their raw ingredients were not made from genetically modified crops. Such foods are not yet approved for consumption in China as they continue researching the effect of modifications on agriculture in general.
