Our Best For Your Baby
FAQ
Our Purity Assurance

Q: What foods should I start with?

A: The most common first food for babies is cereal with iron, such as Heinz's Stage 1 baby cereals. Try rice cereal first, as your baby is least likely to be allergic to it and it is easiest to digest.

Q: Should I choose organic foods for my baby?

A: Heinz has a wide assortment of 100% Certified Organic Infant Feeding products, including infant formula, baby cereals and foods, juices, and toddler snacks. That being said, in accordance with our Purity Assurance Program, all Heinz® Infant Feeding products must meet very strict safety and nutritional requirements. Our requirements are five times more stringent than those enforced by the Canadian government.

Q: Do I need to dilute the Heinz® Infant Juices?


A: It is not necessary to add water to the Heinz® Strained Juice products (including jar & plastic bottle format) as means to dilute the concentration. These products are prepared according to baby’s needs and have been appropriately diluted prior.

Q: Are any of the Heinz® Baby Food products certified Kosher?


A: All Heinz® Baby Food products packaged in the plastic containers (fruits & desserts) are certified Kosher.  Since we run both meat and non-meat products (glass jar format) on the same line at our Leamington facility, these products are not certified Kosher.

Q: How can I be sure that the baby food I buy hasn’t been tampered with?

A: Every jar of Heinz® baby food has two safety checks: a safety button on the top of the lid and a tamper band around the neck. Always check that the vacuum seal button on the lid of the jar is flat and that the plastic ring around the neck of the jar is unbroken. If in doubt, don’t use it and take it back to the store where you bought it.  

Q: Are any preservatives added to Heinz® Baby Foods?


A: No. Heinz® jarred baby foods are vacuum packed in sterile jars and therefore preservatives are not necessary.
