Our Food Values

Our baby and toddler snacks are certified organic, natural and delicious, designed with the utmost consideration for child safety, age, and stage.

Age & Stage Appropriate

Just the right tastes, textures, formats, and portions to support your child’s development. As we develop our products, we carefully consider nutritional requirements, flavour, shapes and textures for every age and stage to support independent self-feeding and aid motor skill progression, such as pincer grasp, hand-eye coordination, chewing and swallowing.

Our products allow progression throughout developmental milestones, introducing new and age-appropriate flavour experiences as children move into a new stage.

  • Our products for babies from 4+ months are perfect for tiny tastebuds at the early stages of a life-long food discovery journey. Babies’ palates are clean slates, so we think it’s important that we help to start things off on the right track by not using strong flavours or unnecessary ingredients. Our baby products are simple, gentle and subtle, introducing new texture experiences.
  • Our products for toddlers from 12+ months include snacks with more adventurous textures, shapes and flavours. As babies transition into toddlerhood, we continue to provide new snacks and meals without unnecessary sugars, salt or additives. Our principle is simple: we only add sugar or salt in the toddler snacks where the traditional recipe requires it for taste or texture, and we are careful to add it at minimum levels.
  • Our pre-schooler snacks for kids from 3+ years introduce more grown-up flavours that kids will love. Perfect for delicious lunch box snacks!

Certified Organic

All our baby and toddler products (ages 4+ months to 12+ months) are certified organic.

It is our commitment to you that all our organic ingredients, recipes and suppliers have been specially screened and selected to ensure they are appropriate and safe for growing little bellies. The foods we produce are made with carefully selected organic ingredients and grown naturally without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers.

SPECIALIST SOURCED & SCREENED:

  • Certified organic ingredient suppliers and product manufacturers only in our baby and toddler range products.
  • We will visit and review each and every single one of our suppliers before we agree to partner with them. We meet their team, discuss our requirements, learn from their expertise and take time to form meaningful and lasting relationships.
  • Highest level of quality control of manufacturing processes and facilities.

Natural & Wholesome

Natural means nothing artificial or synthetic has been used that you wouldn’t expect to find in your food. We only use natural food ingredients that you can recognise such as vegetables, fruit, lentils and grains. All our products are free from artificial colours, flavours or additives.

Our baby and toddler snacks are made with carefully selected organic ingredients and grown naturally without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.

  • Minimal ingredients: Every ingredient has a role. If it’s there, it must be there for a reason, such as to provide flavour or function.
  • The processes used to make our products help to extend their shelf life and preserve them, for example in the same way as baking a cake or cooking a sauce also extends the life of the raw ingredients used.
  • The ingredients we select are also already naturally preserved. For example, the corn flour and fruit powders have been dried and milled, naturally giving them a longer shelf life, which then allows our products to be preserved for longer.
  • We also make sure we use high-quality packaging that is suitable for the end product. The packaging we use prevents light and oxygen from entering the packs, therefore allowing our products to stay at their freshest for a longer period of time.

No Nonsense

We created Little Bellies to feed all children nothing but the best quality food, free from artificial additives, genetically modified ingredients, unnecessary salt and sugar, especially during the formative years of child development.

  • No artificial colours, flavours, or additives.
  • No added sugar, salt or unnecessary ingredients.
  • No pseudo-confectionery.
  • No adult food, relabelled baby.

No added Sugar

No added sugar in our baby range and only, when necessary, in toddler and preschooler ranges.

  • We don’t use cane sugar or add simple sugars such as rice syrup, honey, or maltodextrin. Where flavour is required for our baby snack products, we simply use dried organic fruit powders, which give a subtle hint of sweetness. The fruit powder is made from whole organic fruit that has been dried and then powdered. That’s it – nothing else is added or taken away.
  • For our toddler and preschooler products, where a recipe requires sweet flavour, we use natural fruit powder or juice. We always keep the amount of fruit juice minimal, and we only do this if we really believe the product needs it.
  • We’ve taken the extra step and have included an ‘added sugars’ line in our Nutrition Information Panels on the back of packs, where you can see our declaration of sugar we have added to the product. If it says “0“, then that is how much we have added.
