The company added it hoped to “alter findings” that only 7% of babies receive vegetables as their first weaning taste.
The Starter Pack which includes four single vegetable varieties – cauliflower, pea, carrot and broccoli, is made with no added salt, sugar or preservatives.
“We know that by encouraging vegetable intake during the weaning period, parents can establish healthy habits that last a lifetime. By the use of fun, vegetable characters, we hope that parents and babies learn to love veggies for life” said Ruby Huang, brand manager at Cow & Gate Foods.
