Baby Food in Germany: The Jar Options
My neighborhood dm stocks a wide variety of jarred baby food. Müller and Rossman are other drugstores with decent baby food departments.
Big Foot has just made it to the six month mark (yay!), and he’s decided to join his brothers in becoming a fast and ferocious eater. The kid LOVES food.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t translate to sleeping well at night, but that’s another topic for another day…
As with the other two boys, I’m making my own baby food. I use the schedule and the frozen food cube method from Super Baby Food. For the most part, it’s worked well for me and the babies. But, I have to admit – it lacks portability when traveling.
For instance, Doc Sci and I took a road trip when T-Rex was about five months old. I packed my food cubes in a cooler on ice for a 12 hour trip (uh, yes, we were totally nuts, and no I do not recommend a road warrior mentality when traveling with an infant). By the time we arrived at our destination, all those neat and pretty food cubes had melted into each other, and it was impossible to tell where the avocado ended and the banana began.
Never again.
As you might know, when Screech was ten months old, we moved to Germany. Luckily, I had a heads up about two months in advance that we might be hopping the pond, so I busted my you-know-what to make sure Screech was down with the chunkier textures and scarfing down the same stuff as his big brother and parents.
He was game to grow up a bit ahead in the baby food game, and I found that a pair of kitchen shears was all I needed to make my plate of spaghetti into Screech’s delight.
And good thing, too. The baby food jar options in Germany are, well, um, interesting to say the least. Now that I’m gearing up to take another road trip next month (only 7 hours this time!), I’m again venturing into the commercial baby food world to weigh my options.
Want to take a look with me? Let’s head down to my neighborhood dm and give it a gander.
But first, a few notes to help decipher labels for those traveling to Germany or new to the country…
- Bio = organic, and it’s pronounced B-O as in the gym locker fragrance, not Bi-oh as in biology.
- Ohne Salz Zusatz means without added salt and Ohne Zuckerzusatz means without added sugar.
- Hipp is usually the most expensive brand, but almost everything is organic and of good quality.
- Nestle/Alete is usually the cheapest brand and has a rotten reputation.
- Foods are labeled with which month they are appropriate to use (usually 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months). The higher the month, the chunkier the texture.
- Just like in the US, the jars are rather expensive.
I’ve included prices in the photos below for reference.
German babies all start with the same food – carrots. It is the only vegetable I have found that comes by itself in a jar. Watch out though – some brands have added oil to provide omega 3.
All other vegetables come packaged with other ingredients. No single green beans, peas, or broccoli to be found here.
Spinach is processed with milk and cream and labeled as suitable for four month-old babies. That might be okay for some little ones, but we have a history of food allergies in our family so milk is completely off limits at four months.
The only other green vegetable I’ve seen is zucchini.. but again, it’s with potatoes. Carrots and potatoes are the German baby food staples. By the way, this stuff smells and tastes totally rank. There’s nothing zucchini about it.
Here we go with the lineup of potato-laden baby food options. I guess the Germans think the potatoes will make the other veggies palatable. .? But parsnips.. who eats parsnips? I’ve never even seen them sold in grocery stores here, let alone considered them as infant fare.
There are more fruit options than vegetable ones, but often they are mixed up, shaken, not stirred, with applesauce.
Many fruit options also have grains (Getreide) included. Spelt (Dinkel) is a very popular baby food option here. Watch out if you have a history of wheat or gluten allergies/intolerance.
And speaking of grains, Germans feed their babies loads of Milchbrei (cereal with milk or formula). I find it super ironic that this organic, bland, sugarless hippie dippy culture feeds their babies cookie and chocolate flavored infant cereal. But, they do.
If you’ve got a poor sleeper, or a hungry monkey, you can give one of the “Good Night” jars a whirl. Apparently these mixtures are supposed to take longer to digest and therefore help the baby sleep longer. (Unfortunately, this hasn’t worked for us…)
If you’re going for pureed meat (mmmmmm, delicious), a few companies are hawking jars of straight up chicken or beef. It’s quite expensive though, as you can see.
I am used to feeding my babies one food at a time, waiting a few days to check for any allergic reactions, and then moving on to another single food. I am not sure how you do this in Germany without making food on your own. Other than the few fruits and vegetables I have pictured, the rest of the baby food jar options are “menus” or complete meals. Here are a few of the menus on the market for four month-old babies.
This one baffles me… noodles (wheat), tomatoes (majorly acidic), pork (hard to digest), and the long-standing staple, carrots… for a four month-old. Say, what?!
Here’s another good one.. Lamb? Well, it’s new. Maybe it’ll be a flop.
And the award for the most outrageous four month-old meal goes to… Wait, it’s a tie. The first contestant isn’t pictured; dm was out of the salmon in cream sauce. So, this crazy concoction wins. Who feeds their young baby veal?!
In case you’re itchin’ to know, there are a few toddler TV dinners on the German baby food market. I’m not big into these because by the time the baby is one year old, they usually (hopefully?) eat everything that the rest of the family eats. But just in case you’re looking for a microwave meal, there you have it.
Okay, the TV dinners and these squeezy fruits aren’t jars, but whatever. I know these pouches are all the rage in the US, but they have just started catching on in Germany. They’re here, but few and far between.
I hope you’ve enjoyed our little tour of the baby food section at my neighborhood dm drug store. Unfortunately, I’m still without a traveling baby food solution. Maybe I could convince Big Foot to subsist on carrots and pears for a weekend? Yeah right…

MOSCOW, August 15 - RIA Novosti. Switching to baby food in the hope that it will help you lose weight is not worth it. Why a diet of products for babies is not suitable for a healthy lifestyle, Arina Skoromnaya, the leading fitness column on the Friday TV channel, explained to radio Sputnik. Of course, baby food is safer than "adult" food in the sense that it does not contain GMOs, flavorings , preservatives and dyes. But it does have sugar. And this is one of the reasons why nutritionists do not advise adults to switch to food for babies, says Arina Skoromnaya. The second obstacle is the volume of servings and the content of useful elements. Yes, there are many useful substances in baby food, but there are not those that are vital for the normal functioning of the adult human body. For example, it does not contain coarse fiber, without which digestive problems and constipation are guaranteed. There are very few proteins and fats in such a diet. "An adult does not really eat up baby food and then quickly wants to eat again. This is not a product for an adult. I would not recommend using baby food as a diet. As a diet, it is a crime to sit on such products. This is not an option, "says Arina Skoromnaya. But from time to time, baby food can be consumed. This is a good alternative to unhealthy snacks, the nutritionist noted. , — the nutritionist concluded in an interview with Sputnik radio.

MOSCOW, August 15 - RIA Novosti. Switching to baby food in the hope that it will help you lose weight is not worth it. Why a diet of foods for babies is not suitable for a healthy lifestyle, Arina Skoromnaya, the leading fitness column on the Friday TV channel, explained to Radio Sputnik.
Of course, baby food is safer than "adult" food in the sense that it does not contain GMOs, flavors, preservatives and colors. But it does have sugar. And this is one of the reasons why nutritionists do not advise adults to switch to food for babies, says Arina Skoromnaya.
"If we talk about the figure, about losing weight and about healthy lifestyle, then baby food is not entirely suitable. Despite the fact that sugar is not added there, it is already there because of the ingredients. After processing, you get a puree of fast carbohydrates. It is quickly absorbed the human body and can increase insulin. This is especially true of applesauce. Fruit purees are not suitable for weight loss, "the nutritionist told Sputnik radio.
The second hurdle is portion size and nutrient content. Yes, there are many useful substances in baby food, but there are not those that are vital for the normal functioning of the adult human body. For example, it does not contain coarse fiber, without which digestive problems and constipation are guaranteed. There is very little protein and fat in this diet.
"Adults don't get enough of baby food and then quickly want to eat again. This is not a product for an adult. As a diet, I would not recommend using baby food. As a diet, it is a crime to sit on such products. This is not an option", - says Arina Skoromnaya.
But from time to time, baby food is quite possible to use. This is a good alternative to unhealthy snacks, said the nutritionist.
“You don’t have to constantly sit on baby food, if only to have a snack. One snack a day with such food. If you choose between two evils and choose between cheburek and shawarma for lunch or baby food, then the second is better,” the nutritionist concluded in an interview with the radio Sputnik.

What children eat at school and kindergarten around the world - Children - tsn.ua
Germany (Berlin)
The state pays for children's food in Berlin, Germany, parents can see the menu for the week on the website of the catering service and even choose one of the suggested options to choose from. As a rule, one option is dishes with something meat, and the second is something vegetarian. However, German schoolchildren still carry lunch boxes with them from home, and from the obligatory - an empty bottle for water, which can be obtained simply from the tap in the toilet.
Belgium
In primary schools in Belgian schools, children are given pureed soups for breakfast. But dinners are paid and, they say, not very tasty. On some days they give fish, on others meat, sometimes it's some kind of vegetarian dish. Many parents prefer to give their child a box of takeaway food, usually sandwiches or salad, but never chocolate bars or cookies. Children of elementary grades (up to the 7th grade) are not sold anything on the territory of the school, they carry snacks with them.
Azerbaijan (Baku)
In Azerbaijani kindergartens, most often private ones, the food is similar to what Ukrainian children are used to. For breakfast, children are given milk porridge with toast and tea, or, alternatively, some kind of cottage cheese dish. For lunch, the obligatory program includes soup (sometimes in broth, sometimes vegetable) and something meat with a side dish for the second course. Dinner is very modest: it can be mashed potatoes, bread and tea. But there are no snacks.
USA (San Francisco, CA)
In private day care centers in San Francisco, the child usually brings a lunch box with him. However, each city has its own rules. In state affairs, the situation is somewhat different - here they serve breakfast (before lessons), lunch at a big break and, if necessary, dinner in the dining room. The menu is compiled a month in advance and the food is delivered individually packaged to schools. We are not talking about a hot lunch, as they are used to in Ukraine. Also, no one controls what children who bring food from home eat.
Spain (Jerez)
In Spanish kindergartens and schools, children pay for their own meals, and usually these are full meals, including pasta with meat, rice with vegetables, for dessert - yogurt or buns with a chocolate cocktail. Children also have the opportunity to have lunch at home and take snacks with them. But there is also a regulated rule: every day children bring one type of food, for example, Monday - a sandwich, Tuesday - yogurt, Wednesday - crackers, Thursday - fruit, Friday - free day, you can bring whatever you want.
Poland (Gdansk)
Children's health
The most varied diet is perhaps in Polish kindergartens. For breakfast, on the menu you can see several types of bread with butter, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, cocoa, and there is always drinking water freely available. For lunch, soups are prepared in low-fat broth (usually turkey or chicken), spaghetti with various sauces, many vegetable salads, meat and various types of stewed sauces are also on the menu. As snacks, they give a lot of different fruits, usually seasonal.
There are a number of countries where children are not fed at all in educational institutions. These are the UAE and Egypt, Israel and Canada. Mothers from these countries told us that they collect food for their children with them. And there are two sides to the coin: you always know what your child will eat for lunch, but you always need to take the time to cook it.
As you can see, each state has its own rules and financial possibilities, but no matter what your child is fed in an educational institution or child care institution, it is worth remembering that the responsibility for the health of children lies not at all with the school cook, but with the parents.
