Several British newspapers have recently run articles on the sometimes-misleading labeling practices of
organic baby food in the U.K. Most of the interest stems from a report in consumer magazine Which?, pointing out one brand of organic chicken baby food that was only eight
percent chicken and mostly potatoes. Apparently EU labeling laws say that if meat is listed as a baby food's main
ingredient, the product should be at least 40 percent meat; if a label says something like "chicken and
vegetables," the food need only be 10 percent meat. Some baby food products by companies like Heinz and Cow and
Gate have less of certain ingredients than they should, according to stories in The
Daily Mail, The
Telegraph and The
Mirror.
