Developed with pediatric allergists, the product looks to offer parents a convenient way to include peanuts and tree nuts in their children’s diets, the company said.
“My oldest son had his first allergic reaction to peanuts at 7 months old,” Anne Laraway, CEO of Happy Family Organics said. “When my second son was born, I wanted to be able to introduce him to peanuts and tree nuts as a baby, early and often, and in my case, without putting my older son, who has severe food allergies, at risk. I take this line very seriously, and it is my hope that these products can help all parents who are looking for a way to introduce or include allergens in their baby's diets.”
Each pouch contains 1 g of peanut or tree nut protein blended with fruits for a texturally-appropriate format for babies, the company said.
Available in four flavors — bananas and peanuts, apples and walnuts, bananas and almonds, and pears and cashews — the pouches retail for $1.99 each.
