Infant nutrition company Once Upon a Farm has expanded its portfolio with the addition of three new organic products. All three new items are non-GMO project verified with zero added sugar. Firstly, the company has unveiled Fruit & Veggie Puffs, a finger food snack created for toddlers starting at ten months old. The puffs are made with avocado oil and sorghum and are unsweetened, unsalted and free of rice and corn. Available in three flavour combinations – strawberry, sweet potato and coconut; apple, sweet potato and coconut; and mango, carrot and coconut – the airy dissolvable snacks are crafted to help develop fine motor skills and encourage self-feeding. Second in the line-up is Coconut Melts. These bite-sized melts are made with real fruit and added probiotics, without any artificial flavours, sweeteners or juice concentrates. Designed for more exploratory eaters, they come in three flavour combinations: mango, banana and vanilla, strawberry banana and mixed berry. The final product in the launch is Tractor Wheels Toddler Soft-Baked Bars. Packed with wholegrain oats, fruit and vegetables, the bars are created for active toddlers and designed to fit in kids' hands. Also available in three flavour options – apple, sweet potato and spinach; banana, pumpkin and cauliflower; and strawberry, pumpkin and beet – the snacks come as five individually wrapped bars for added convenience. Cassandra Curtis, founder and CIO at Once Upon a Farm, said: "We're thrilled to offer even more ways for families to nourish their little ones with our new line of pantry snacks. We believe all food for babies and toddlers should be packed with wholesome real ingredients, taste great and be convenient for busy parents. Our new snacks deliver on all three fronts, promoting self-feeding and important developmental milestones." Last month, Once Upon a Farm entered the dairy category with organic A2 milk offerings made with fresh fruits and vegetables and crafted for growing children. The new products will be available to consumers in the US from next month.
