Little Spoon is rolling out its new Puffs snack line, which is formulated and created for children aged 6 months and older. 

“We’ve had our eye on the baby snacking space for awhile and I’m thrilled to be launching our new graspable and meltable Puffs,” said Little Spoon co-founder and chief product officer Angela Vranich. “Not only are our puffs a nutritious snack crafted with organic, best-in-class ingredients, but they were created alongside experts and designed in two unique shapes for self-feeding to support critical fine motor skill development from very first bites.”

Available in two flavors and shapes—organic kale apple curls and organic banana pitaya rings—the puffs featuring six ingredients are free from gluten, rice, seed oils, added sugar and nine allergens, the company said.

Created to be larger in shape as a way to be easy to grasp, Little Spoon’s new Puffs line of snacks retail for $4.99 and can be found online.

CBS Evening News managing editor and anchor Norah O’Donnell interviewed CVS Health CEO Karen Lynch about the state of healthcare in America and her new book Taking Up Space: Get Heard, Deliver Results, and Make a Difference.

The following excerpt was provided by CBS Evening News:

• O’Donnell: The Biden Administration came out with new rules that would allow the abortion pill, Mifepristone, to be sold at pharmacies instead of only being available at a doctor's office or a hospital. CVS stores are now carrying this. Was that a difficult decision to make?
• Lynch: Our North Star is that we support women's health and that we are committed to making sure that women have access to reproductive health services, education, and FDA approved products. So that’s a decision we make because we know women need access to health.
• O’Donnell: How big of an issue [have] been burglaries?
• Lynch: It’s a problem for us. Organized retail theft is a big problem… They're mostly organized people that are doing it and they're coming in, they're clearing shelves off, and then reselling them.
