Baby Gourmet takes the hassle out of eating on the go. Our slim pouch slips neatly in your bag and lets you squeeze food right onto a spoon. When wee ones aren't quite so little anymore, they love feeding themselves straight from the package. And it's not just super convenient—it also preserves nutrition and taste. Unlike glass jars, the thermo-dynamic pouch permits flash cooking, ensuring none of the good stuff is cooked out. We taste every batch Every package of Baby Gourmet passes strict nutritional and food safety guidelines. We pass all USDA and organic certifications. But, as moms, we go a step further. We actually taste every single batch ourselves. If we don't absolutely love it, we pour it out and start from scratch. It's true! Because our bottom line is not 'the bottom line'. It's our commitment to making great tasting, exceptionally nutritious food—the only kind we would feed our own children. http://www.babygourmet.com/
