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.

The Earth's Best Difference:

• Organic ingredients grown without harmful pesticides
• No Genetically Engineered Ingredients (GEIs)
• Most items made only from whole grains
• No added salt, modified starches or refined sugars

2.0 out of 5 stars Organic but BPA in the lid!, October 30, 2010

This review is from: Earth's Best Organic 1st Vegetable Starter Kit, 2.5 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

Our baby really loves to eat these and they come in glass, Great! But we discontinued using them after I found a web posting that the manufacturer uses lids that contain BPA! I emailed their customer service department (10/2010) and the company confirmed that BPA is used in the lids. This smacks of the worst kind of marketing, taking advantage of the organic label and the potential health benefits but selling it in inferior packaging, legal yes, but not really in the spirit of the organic movement. For Pete's sake the lid itself has the word "organic" written on it 6 times! We stopped using all the companies products including the dry oatmeal and rice because we personally found it such a dishonest practice (he loved those too unfortunately) so in summary good food, bad implementation.

1.0 out of 5 stars BPA in Lid & Food, January 10, 2011

This review is from: Earth's Best Organic 1st Vegetable Starter Kit, 2.5 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

Like other customers, I was sorely disappointed to find out that there is indeed BPA-containing plastic in the lid of Earth's Best food products. I feel that this company is taking advantage of customers and deceiving mothers & fathers who are trying to do the best by buying organic food for their babies. The company will not answer questions directly online or on their FaceBook accounts. They give you the runaround to call their customer service number. However, when they do finally admit to BPA being in the lid of the products, they try to pass it off as being an "industry standard" and that the food is "Safe." Well, for those of us who are concerned enough to purchase organic foods--I think we want to see NO BPA in the packaging or product. I am not content to be told what is safe or acceptable for my baby by a company's marketing department. So, I have decided that, even though my baby has enjoyed Earth's Best products, I will find other products that do not have BPA in their packaging or food items. I am truly disappointed that this huge manufacturer of "organic" products is allowing a product that has been banned in baby bottles in Europe to be in the lids of food jars in the United States. Shame on them. I hope this helps other moms & dads out there to be aware of what is in this "organic" food product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Price problem?, April 25, 2009

Love this product, but this price is wrong Amazon. You are charging the same for 12pack of 4oz as you are for the 12pack of 2.5oz. Check Earth's Best online store and the 2.5oz pack is only 12 Pack, 2.5 oz: $7.86 (0.66/Unit). The 4oz IS a great deal, but this 2.5oz pack is not!
