Michael jacobson tells me the number of products the two Companies Sell boast extensive ingredients on the front but may contain small amounts of those items like this plum organics quinoa and leeks with chicken p and tar gone. You might think one of these four foods would be prominent in the list of ingredients but you have to search down the list to find them. Many products start with apple puree and water which is basically apple sauce and then they flavor it with a little pasturized yogurt. Blow berry, quinoa, kale kind of the yuppy magnets. Plum organics calls the findings aggressive assertions and said we have never and would never intentionally deceive parents. We have complete confidence in the accuracy of our naming conventions and labels and that they immediate regulatory and other legal requirements. These gerber products also part of a bait and switch scheme. It works hard to declare full clarity and accuracy on food levels and gerber utilized products in their products. For example, if pears are listed first on the front label then pears the first fruit ingredient declared in the list of ingredients torespies such as lasagna and meat sauce we utilize traditional names commonly recognized by consumers. If the companies do not respond with proposecspi says it will sue. If youre less than impressed with the baby food on store shelves you may want to try to make your own. The jars were 75 cents, pouches 1. 50 bottom line, dont go by what is on the front of the package read ingredients and make sure thats a right fit for your family. Thanks erika.
