Support children's daily iron intake in a simple and tasty way.
Why fortified with iron?
It is a challenge for infants and toddlers to obtain sufficient iron on a daily basis. There are simple reasons for this:
1. Food portions are small, especially when starting complementary feeding.
2. During the first year of life, the diet tends to be low in iron (vegetable and fruit purees, porridges), and even in the toddler years, it is difficult to meet daily iron requirements through food alone due to smaller portion sizes.
3. However, the daily iron requirement for infants and toddlers is very high—6 mg per day (European Commission), or even 10 mg per day for infants aged 7–11 months according to national guidelines. For children aged 1–6, the daily iron requirement is 7 mg. For comparison, the daily iron requirement for an adult male is 9 mg according to national guidelines.
4. Toddlers often go through phases where they reject certain foods, and their diet tends to become monotonous.
Our baby food is fortified with iron to support daily iron intake—simply and deliciously. For this fortification, we use iron bisglycinate —a form already familiar from dietary supplements—which is less sensitive to interactions with other food components. We add iron in accordance with European Commission guidelines. Iron fortified food is just like regular baby food, simply with the added bonus of iron. It is not an iron supplement; like standard baby food, ours is designed for everyday consumption!
The only difference between our iron fortified baby food and the regular variety is the addition of a small amount of iron to support daily intake. It does not affect the taste. On the contrary, our organic, iron fortified baby food has a pleasant texture and a delicious flavor—and the recipe has even been approved by our own children! 🙂
Bon appétit!
Pure organic ingredients & iron
We use certified organic ingredients that have undergone rigorous quality control. To fortify with iron, we use high-quality, safe iron bisglycinate —an ingredient many already recognize from our iron supplements. It does not react easily with other substances in food, making it ideal for iron fortification.
Without added rapeseed oil
Our baby food does not contain rapeseed oil. Rapeseed oil contains erucic acid—a substance naturally present in plant oils and fats—for which a maximum safe daily intake has been established. In large quantities, erucic acid can damage the heart. Due to their low body weight, infants may more easily exceed safe intake levels if they consume large amounts of commercial baby foods, which typically contain added rapeseed oil.
Mild flavors without fruit juice concentrates or banana puree
You won’t find juice concentrates—which are high in natural sugar—or sweet banana puree in our baby foods. We use only 100% organic fruit, vegetable, and berry purees in their preparation. We introduce children to organic, natural flavors from an early age.
Charity
Charity is one of our core brand values. For every baby food product purchased, we donate 1 cent to the Children's Foundation of the Tartu University Hospital.
Developed in Estonia and Finland
We produce all our children's food products in Estonia or Finland. Our core range of children's foods is produced in Latvia by an experienced organic baby food manufacturer. Exciting projects are currently underway in Finland as well.
Gluten-free
All our children's meals are gluten-free.
