Ingredients Analysis (8 found)

brown sugar syrup

🚨6/10

Brown sugar syrup is a sweetener high in sugars which can increase risk of dental caries and unhealthy weight gain in babies 6-12 months. Use with caution in sweetened cereal.

No Known Risk - Brown sugar syrup is primarily composed of sugar and water, with no evidence linking it to specific health risks such as irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other listed concerns when used as a food ingredient. There are no known immediate health concerns for babies based on current research, aside from general recommendations to limit added sugars in infant diets.

Confidence: HIGH

wheat bran

⚠️4/10

Wheat bran is a known ingredient but it is high in fiber and may cause digestive issues in 6-12 month babies. It is not typically recommended for this age group.

No Known Risk - Wheat bran is generally recognized as safe for consumption in babies who do not have wheat allergy or celiac disease. There is no strong evidence linking wheat bran to any of the listed risks for the general population, aside from rare cases of wheat allergy or gluten intolerance, which are specific medical conditions and not general risks for all babies.

Confidence: HIGH

salt

✅3/10

Salt is generally safe in small amounts for 6-12 month babies but excessive intake can strain kidneys. Likely used for flavor in sweetened cereal.

Confidence: HIGH

sugar

✅3/10

Sugar itself is not poisonous but added sugars should be limited for babies under two. Small natural sugars from fruit or the lactose in formula are expected.

Confidence: HIGH

freeze-dried strawberries

✅2/10

Strawberries are generally safe for 6-12 month babies but may cause mild allergies or irritation. Likely included for flavor in sweetened cereal.

No Known Risk - Strawberries are generally considered safe for babies when introduced at the appropriate age and prepared properly. There is no strong evidence linking strawberries to any of the listed risks for the general population, aside from rare cases of individual allergies. For most babies, strawberries do not pose immediate health concerns based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

whole grain wheat

✅2/10

Whole Wheat is generally safe for babies 6-12 months in cereals but may cause mild allergies or digestive issues in some infants. It is common in baby cereals.

No Known Risk - Whole wheat is widely used as a food ingredient for babies and children, and there is no strong scientific evidence linking it to any of the listed risks for the general population. Exceptions may exist for babies with wheat allergy or celiac disease, but these are specific medical conditions rather than general risks. For most babies, whole wheat is considered safe when introduced appropriately.

Confidence: HIGH

malt flavor

✅1/10

Malt flavor is generally safe as a flavoring derived from malted grains and used in small amounts in baby foods to enhance taste.

No Known Risk - Malt flavor is generally recognized as safe for consumption, with no evidence linking it to specific health risks for babies based on current research. It is not associated with allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other listed risks in healthy infants, except in rare cases of gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, which are not common in the general population.

Confidence: HIGH

rice

✅1/10

Rice is commonly used in baby foods and formulas for 6-12 month olds and is generally safe with minimal allergy risk but watch for arsenic levels.

No Known Risk - Rice is widely used as a first food for babies and is generally considered safe when cooked and served appropriately. There are no immediate health concerns or established risks associated with rice itself for babies based on current research, aside from rare allergies. However, concerns about arsenic in rice are not directly related to the rice ingredient itself but to environmental contamination, so the ingredient rice alone does not warrant a risk label.
