Popcorn-Like Toddler Snacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Gerber Organic BabyPops Help Young Ones Learn to Self-Feed

— July 30, 2020 — Lifestyle
Gerber's Organic snacks line now includes Gerber Organic BabyPops, which take the form of popcorn-like puffed corn and oat snacks that were developed to help young ones learn to feed themselves. The small puffs are just the right size for small fingers and help to encourage kids to develop the motor skills that will be essential to their continued development. As Sarah Smith-Simpson, Principle Scientist at Gerber, describes: "While every child reaches this milestone at their own pace, this is usually around eight months or older when babies are in the Crawler stage, ready for finger foods."

There's Peanut, Tomato and Banana Raspberry varieties, all of which are free from added sweeteners, salt and GMO ingredients. Notably, the BabyPops Peanut contains real, organic peanut flour to help with early allergen introduction.
