Is Gerber skirting the Food Allergen Label and Consumer Protection Act of 2004?
Never in a million years did I think I would be warning the public about Gerber’s Baby Food. Yet today, I am doing just that. I happen to be visiting my baby granddaughter a couple of weeks ago. My daughter-in-law has been doing a great job of nursing (while working) her for the past 6 months. She just added solids to my granddaughter’s diet. Rice cereal and some vegetables were selected to supplement. Most of the veggies had citric acid added to keep the product from oxidizing and turning dark. These foods fit my perimeters for children; less than 6 ingredients. Then my daughter-in-law showed me the Graduates line from Gerber’s. The product that caught my eye was Graduates Puffs for “crawlers” (about 7-9 months). I turned the container around and looked at the ingredients. The first ingredient was Rice Flour (good); but the next three ingredients upset me. They were: Whole Wheat Flour, Wheat Starch, and Sugar. Whole Wheat Flour contains 4 proteins, they are: albumin, globulin, gliadin and gluten. Wheat Starch contains gluten which is used to make breads rise. Gluten is the most discussed protein associated with Celiac Disease. Sugar should never be in any baby food. Whole Wheat Flour and Wheat Starch are Allergens as defined by the FDA. Most manufacturers are noting these Allergens in Bold print at the end of the list of ingredients or putting the Allergen ingredients in parentesis so the consumer can easily see them. This is required by the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004. Gerber has done neither. The print of the ingredients is supposedly to be such that it is easy to read. The print on some of the the Graduates food is so small and pushed together that it is VERY difficult to read. The amount of ingredients are 15 and over. Finally, why would a manufacturer of this duration and reputation offer a product: Graduates, and put a known Allergen in the baby food without proper labeling? Let us hope that this omission will be rectified. The FDA has been notified. (Next Blog: What happens when your baby eats gluten(wheat) and is intolerant.)

I am very impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the writer of eatallergy-free.com can continue to provide so much practical information and unforgettable experience to eatallergy-free.com readers. There is not much to tell except the following universal truth: If its says “you must restart your system” its lying. I will be back.
