Yes, it contains egg yolk, a top allergen. Introduce in small amounts and watch for reactions.
How does it differ from plain baby cereal?
The addition of egg yolk increases fat, protein, and nutrient density compared to grain-only cereals.
Nutrient density (calculated · NRF9.3)
Nutrient Rich Foods index: beneficial nutrients (protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals) minus saturated fat, added sugar & sodium, per 100 kcal.
NRF9.3 index — Fulgoni, Keast & Drewnowski, 2009. Computed from USDA nutrients.
Weight-loss friendliness (composite index)
Energy density 0.51 kcal/g · 15% calories from protein · 0.9 g fiber · 0.0 g sugar per 100 g.
