Transparency You Can Trust
Baby food is just the start. We’re the first kids' brand to deliver test result transparency across our entire product portfolio—yes, that includes snacks for big kids, too—so you can feel good about the food you're feeding your whole family.

Ingredients Grown and Selected with Care
With 115+ diverse ingredients, we are proud of maintaining an organic standard across our portfolio. Our commitment to organic is steadfast because we know it's beneficial for people, animals, and the planet. With organic as our baseline, we aspire towards the highest standards in social responsibility, with some of our ingredients coming from farms certified by the Equitable Food Initiative, which partners with growers and retailers to create a more transparent food chain and healthier workplace.

Our Approach To Testing
Upholding the Highest Standard
Our benchmarks for safety have always been high. Our entire portfolio complies withU.S. regulations and is guided by European Union (EU) and Clean Label Project standards. When specific guidelines are absent, we set our own standards to exceed parents’ expectations of what baby and kids' food should be.

Committed to Safety and Quality through Heavy Metal Standards
Our entire portfolio complies with U.S. regulations and is guided by European Union (EU) and Clean Label Project standards.

Arsenic | N/A | 20 ppb*** | 100 ppb |
Cadmium | N/A | 40 ppb | 40 ppb |
