Ingredients Analysis (13 found)

Almonds

🚨6/10

Almonds can cause allergic reactions and choking hazards in babies 6-12 months. They are sometimes used for flavor or nutrition in cereals but require caution.

No Known Risk - Almonds are generally considered safe for consumption by babies when introduced appropriately and in age-appropriate forms. There is no strong evidence linking almonds to any of the listed risks for the general population, aside from rare cases of nut allergy, which is not a listed risk label. Therefore, no immediate health concerns are found based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Natural Flavor

⚠️5/10

Natural flavor is a vague label that can cover many ingredients. It is used to make products taste better. For most 6 to 12 month olds small amounts are unlikely to cause harm, but the lack of disclosure increases the risk of allergy or intolerance.

No Known Risk - Natural flavor is a broad term for flavoring substances derived from natural sources. While the exact composition can vary, current research and regulatory reviews have not identified immediate health risks for babies when used in typical amounts in consumable products. There is no strong evidence linking natural flavors to specific health risks in infants, so an abundance of caution suggests it is generally considered safe.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Stevia Leaf Extract

⚠️4/10

Stevia Leaf Extract is a natural sweetener but its safety in 6-12 month old babies is not well established and may affect gut microbiota or metabolism. Use with caution.

No Known Risk - Current research and regulatory reviews indicate that stevia leaf extract is generally recognized as safe for consumption, including by infants and children, with no established links to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks at typical dietary levels.

Confidence: HIGH

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

Wheat Gluten

✅3/10

Wheat gluten is generally safe for babies 6-12 months but may cause allergies or celiac disease in sensitive infants. Likely included as a protein source in sweetened cereal.

Confidence: HIGH

Wheat Protein Isolate

✅3/10

Wheat protein isolate is generally safe but may pose allergy risks for babies especially with gluten sensitivity. It is likely used for protein enrichment in sweetened cereal.

No Known Risk - Wheat protein isolate is generally recognized as safe for consumption, except in individuals with wheat allergy or celiac disease. There is no evidence linking it to the listed risks for the general population, including babies, when used as intended. Caution is advised only for those with known wheat or gluten sensitivities.

Confidence: HIGH

Dried Strawberries

✅2/10

Dried strawberries are generally safe for babies 6-12 months but may pose minor choking risk and potential allergen. Likely included for flavor and nutrients.

No Known Risk - Dried strawberries are generally considered safe for babies when consumed in appropriate amounts. There is no strong evidence linking dried strawberries to any of the listed health risks for babies, aside from rare cases of strawberry allergy, which is not a general risk for all infants. Therefore, no immediate health concerns are found based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH

Pea Protein Concentrate

✅2/10

Pea Protein Concentrate is generally safe as a plant protein source but may cause minor allergenic reactions in some infants. It is likely used to boost protein content in sweetened cereal.

No Known Risk - Pea protein concentrate is widely used in infant and baby foods and is generally recognized as safe. There is no strong evidence linking it to any of the listed risks for babies, unless there is a specific pea allergy, which is rare. No major health agencies have flagged it for concern in baby products.

Confidence: HIGH

Dried Raspberries

✅2/10

Dried raspberries are generally safe for babies 6-12 months but may pose minor choking risk or allergen potential. Likely included for flavor and nutrition in baby foods.

There are no known links to irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other risks listed. It is generally considered safe for baby consumption unless there is a specific allergy to raspberries.

Confidence: HIGH

Strawberry Juice Concentrate

✅1/10

Strawberry juice concentrate is generally safe for babies 6-12 months in small amounts as a natural flavor and sweetener in baby foods like sweetened cereal.

No Known Risk - Strawberry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe for consumption by babies when used in appropriate amounts. There is no strong evidence linking it to any of the listed risks such as irritant, eczema, asthma, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, as with any food, rare allergic reactions are possible, but these are not specific to the ingredient itself and do not warrant a risk label based on current research.

Confidence: HIGH
