7. How can it be that the jars last so long?


The jars do not carry preservatives and do not need cold to be preserved, so it is logical to ask how they can last so long. The reason is simple: they are vacuum packed and a sterilization process that eliminates germs is applied in their preparation.

8. Can my baby take any fruit jars?

No. Pediatricians advise to introduce the fruits one at a time and with an interval of approximately one week between each one, to see if they produce any allergic reaction. Likewise, it is better to start with fruits that do not give allergies (like apples) and leave for later those that generate more intolerances (like peaches). Your pediatrician will advise you the best according to the characteristics of your child.

9. So, why do some jars carry peaches?

When the jars are prepared, the part of the peach that produces the most allergy is eliminated, the skin, and in the cooking process the fruit is cooked and pasteurized, which greatly reduces the product's ability to generate allergy. Even so, in cases of children with other known allergies or with relatives with this kind of intolerances, it is better to avoid these baby food and not risk it.

10. Do the dessert jars carry cow's milk?

You will learn this from reading the label. In general, babies should not drink cow's milk until they are a year old, but many of the baby milk jars prepared for younger children are made with continuation milk.
