An investigation by BBC Panorama highlighted that baby food pouches from major brands like Ella's Kitchen and Heinz often lack crucial nutrients like vitamin C and iron. Laboratory tests on products revealed alarmingly high sugar levels and insufficient nutrient content, leading experts to caution against relying on these items for children's primary nutrition. Although brands claim their products are meant to complement a varied diet, parents are essentially being misled by marketing, and experts advocate for greater protection for young children from commercial influences.
Laboratory testing of 18 baby food pouches revealed many are low in essential nutrients like vitamin C and iron, with some containing excessive sugar.
Experts warn that pouches should not replace homemade meals and can lead to health issues if used as a primary nutrition source.
