⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better

It may also contain common allergens like wheat (from noodles) or soy; introduce these separately beforehand to monitor tolerance.

FAQ
Is this suitable for a 6-month-old?
This 'junior' stage product is typically for babies around 8-10 months who are comfortable with thicker textures and have already been introduced to meat and grains. Always consult your pediatrician.
Does it contain added sugar?
The 1.45g of sugar per 100g is likely naturally occurring from ingredients like carrots or tomatoes in the sauce, not added sugar. Check the ingredient list for specifics.
How does the protein content compare to homemade beef purée?
At 2.5g per 100g, it's a moderate amount. Homemade purées can vary widely based on the lean meat-to-liquid ratio, but this product provides a consistent, convenient source.
