From the very beginning, our containers have been and remain BPA and phthalate free. Our packaging is from the safest food grade materials and certified for use in infant and baby food products. Health concerns with using plastic containers for food is mostly related to resins used to make the plastic more durable, such as phthalates and BPA.



As eco-parents and health enthusiasts we definitely experienced a challenge upon learning that our innovative pouches would not be recyclable due to the unique blend of foil and BPA-free plastic. With safety and nutrition as our top priority, we chose this pouch because it ensures a natural way to preserve the ingredients, and allows us to gently cook our baby food at a much lower temperature than the traditional jarred food—further preserving the nutrients in each meal. The resealable cap is a #2 plastic and therefore highly recyclable and we encourage this at the very least.



As a Certified B-Corporation, an important goal of ours is to reduce our environmental impact through waste reduction and lessening the energy in the manufacturing and transportation of our products. We have confirmed from our supplier and several independent studies, that the largest carbon footprint in the life cycle of a product actually occurs during the manufacturing and transportation process. We are happy to say that our light-weight, soft-sided pouch is 10x lighter than the traditional glass jar and cap, and requires less time & energy to produce. All of which leads to less transportation in freight, reduced greenhouse gases, and lower costs.

We continue to strive for innovative packaging and processes that are as green as they can be without jeopardizing the integrity of our ingredients and products. The packaging industry is showing progress and we all hope to get there soon!
