Los Angeles Times: Baby food is no longer just mushy, creamy, bland stuff in little jars. That couldn’t be more apparent at the Natural Products Expo.
Manufacturers are now promoting baby food enhanced with probiotics, vitamins and minerals and “hidden” vegetables. One maker of premier, healthy baby foods — Happy Baby — has grown from being in five stores three years ago to 5,000 today.
Gerber, that old standby, has a line of certified-organic products such as organic brown rice. Natural, low-sugar juices for babies and toddlers are also hot items, as are healthier snacks.
