FAQ

We take your child’s safety very seriously and want you to be confident that the snacks you give your children are suitable and safe. The most up to date allergen information on all of our products is available on their respective packaging or on the product page online. 

The first year is vital to exposing little ones to new foods, flavours and textures. These early days are also about trying new textures whether that be from whole cooked or soft raw foods (if following the baby led weaning approach). Or if offering purees first, then your little one will progress from eating runny, thin and thicker purees through to mashed, lumpy, minced and chopped food.

These early days of offering first foods can be really apprehensive and scary for us as parents. However it’s good to remember that gagging is a natural reflex that happens when there’s a risk of choking. They are learning lots of new skills, particularly how to chew, swallow, and how much food to take into their mouth in one go. To minimise risk of choking, ensure to cook food well so it’s a soft texture and cut into suitable sized pieces (e.g. halve grapes and cherry tomatoes) and always stay with your baby at meal times whilst they’re eating.

Also we recommend doing a first aid course for babies and children to further put your mind at rest at this time.

If you are concerned that your little one has a food allergy or an intolerance then you should first get professional advice from your healthcare professional. Don’t just eliminate foods from your child’s diet, as they may become deficient in important nutrients. Depending on the severity and urgency, make notes of symptoms and the reactions and talk to your healthcare professional.

Where you can try and sit as a whole family and eat and enjoy your meal (and vegetables!) all together, so your child can see you enjoy all the foods on your plate.

Children need to try foods such as vegetables many times until they are familiar and accept them. This is tough to witness as a parent, but don’t give up and try offering it again!

In the meantime make sure to include some vegetables within meals (e.g. grated courgette or carrot in a pasta sauce) so you know they are getting some vegetables into their diet.

Wherever possible, our snacks only contain sugar that is naturally present in the fruits and vegetables from which they are made. All of our products are sold in portion-controlled packs and adhere to very strict baby regulations. We do recommend that little ones eat a varied and balanced diet offering a wide range of healthy, tasty foods.

‘Free sugars’ is a term commonly used to describe sugars that are added to food and drink, as well as sugar that is found naturally in honey, fruit juice and fruit juice concentrates.
Naturally occurring sugars are found in foods like fruit, vegetables, and milk. They provide a natural source of energy and are part of what makes these foods an important part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Food and drink such as cakes, sweets and fizzy drinks are often high in added sugar. Their frequent consumption is linked with an increased risk in tooth decay and they typically offer few other nutrients.

At Kiddylicious, we take sustainability extremely seriously. All of our cardboard, which includes the boxes we use to deliver our delicious snacks to supermarkets, is recyclable and where possible, is made using recycled board. We are also working towards ensuring that it is sourced from sustainable forests.
