Earth's Best Organic 1st Fruit Starter Kit, 2.5 Ounce Jars

After your baby develops a tolerance for infant cereal, introduce this single ingredient pureed fruits. Earth's Best makes the first foods with only the freshest organic fruits and vegetables.

This is sold in a pack of twelve 2.5-ounce jars, 3 jars each of the different fruits.

Why Organic?

Choosing organic is choosing to live a healthier life. Organic foods are produced without the use of potentially harmful chemicals and synthetic pesticides or growth hormones. This is even more important when we consider infants. For four to six months following birth, infants receive most of their nutrition from breast milk or infant formula. It is so important that these formulas contain the safest ingredients.

If ingested, potential toxic chemicals or heavy metals can lead to compromised immune system development. Likewise, young infants consume disproportionately high levels of fruits and vegetables when compared to adults. This increases their risk of exposure to potential contaminants found among non-organic products. Finally, Earth's Best products do not contain genetically engineered ingredients (GEIs), made by inserting genes from one plant into a strain of another to produce more crops or control pests.

Why organic? It is better for you, your child and the environment they will grow up in.

• Organic ingredients grown without harmful pesticides
• No Genetically Engineered Ingredients (GEIs)

5.0 out of 5 stars Stop Freaking Out Over BPA, April 29, 2011

Okay. Im a very cautious parent, but the fact that there is BPA in the lids doesnt affect the food or the quality of it. BPA is an element in plastics that is excess estrogen and its recently become known that its not beneficial to let it enter our bodies. However, BPA is only activated once its been heated and since you arent heating the metal lid, the BPA never enters the food. EB baby food is spectacular especially since its jar food vs frozen/fresh. There are lots of yummy flavors and your baby will probably like most of them. Both of my sons go crazy over the EB varieties and I stick by it- buying it by the case and using the amazon subscription option makes it soo much cheaper than retail! Again... dont freak out over BPA in the lids lol.

I found Earth's Best while shopping at Target and was thrilled to find USDA certified organic baby food. My son loves the apples and pears, the bananas are a little tart but I just add a little rice cereal and it's fine. I love that Amazon.com offers subscribe and save for Earth's Best and at a cheaper price than Target or Babies "R" Us. Great packing and fast delivery!

I absolutely LOVED EB food...as did my baby. That is, until I read that EB uses BPA in the sealing of their lids!!!! How in the world does a company who cares about organic, gluten free, kosher, and products free of being genetically modified think that it is okay to use BPA?!!? I called EB to verify this information and the lady admitted it. (But they are "looking into an alternative packaging". That can't happen fast enough!!!!)
