You may have seen in the news today that new guidelines require manufacturers to reduce sugar and salt in all shop-bought baby foods. Manufacturers will have 18 months to reformulate their products, lowering sugar and salt levels without adding sweeteners. Plus, clearer labelling will make it easier for families to understand exactly what’s in their baby’s food.

It's worth remembering that shop-bought options like pouches, jars and snacks should still only be used occasionally – not every day, and babies under 12 months don’t need snacks at all (homemade or shop-bought). 🍎💚
