      Best Baby Food - Reviews & Brand Ratings

      Fact Checked

      Aussie families rate Rafferty’s Garden number ‘yum’ in baby food review

      There’s plenty to consider when it comes to bringing a new bundle of joy home from the hospital for the first time – whether you’re a first-time parent, or you’re bringing home a new brother or sister. There’s the stroller, the baby monitor, the nappies, and to top it all off, there’s the food. With each child having different preferences, it’s no easy task to get a child to eat – and eat healthily – regardless of their age.

      As a result, many parents turn to packaged baby foods at mealtimes, with plenty of brands offering a wide variety of flavours to help the little ones get the essential minerals and nutrients needed for their healthy development. But with so many options on supermarket shelves, narrowing down which brand to put in the shopping trolley can quickly become a task in itself, particularly if your child has allergies or they’re fussy when it comes to food. That’s where Canstar Blue’s baby food review can help.

      How we rate baby food brands


      While most new parents originally intend to make all of their baby’s food from scratch, it’s not always possible, when life/work admin sneaks up on you, or when bub decides to change up mealtimes. That’s where baby food comes in handy, and takes out some of the stress of having to prepare food that’ll satisfy your little cherub. Our latest baby food ratings reveal which baby food brands Aussie parents (and babies) rate best.

      How many Australians do we survey for our ratings?

      Canstar Blue surveyed 772 Australians for their feedback on the baby food products (excluding formula) they’ve purchased from a supermarket in the last six months.

      • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics.

      What criteria are used to rate baby food?

      Respondents rate their satisfaction with their baby food brand(s) from zero to ten, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and ten is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:

      • Overall satisfaction: measures consumer satisfaction with a baby food brand as an individual score NOT a combined total of all criteria.
      • Child enjoyment: my child seemed to enjoy the taste and texture of the product.
      • Variety of flavours & options: the brand offered a good selection of savoury and sweet baby foods, and various other options like purees, cereal, custards, yoghurt, snacks, etc.
      • Ease of opening & dispensing: the product was sealed properly, but was also easy to open and dispense during mealtimes.
      • Different packaging options: the brand offered a good variety of packaging options (i.e. jars, tins, squeeze packs, pouches, etc.)
      • Packaging design: the product packaging was aesthetically pleasing and as expected.
      • Value for money: good quantity and quality (of ingredients) for the cost.

      How do we determine the winner?

      The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.

      • Overall satisfaction is asked as a specific question and represents an individual measure, not a combined total of all criteria.
      • When we cannot determine a clear winner from the criteria for the Overall satisfaction rating, we will then look at the other criteria measured in the rating.
        • The brand with the highest number of five-star ratings within the supporting criteria will become the five-star recipient in overall satisfaction, and thus win the award. If a clear leader still cannot be determined from the supporting criteria, joint winners will be declared.

      Which baby food brands do we rate?

      Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

      1. Rafferty’s Garden
      2. ALDI Mamia
      3. Heinz
      4. Only Organic
      5. Baby Mum-Mum
      6. Bellamy’s Organic
      7. Annabel Karmel
      8. Coles
      9. Baby Bellies

      Rafferty’s Garden topped our baby food ratings with five-star reviews for child enjoyment, variety of flavours and options, ease of opening and dispensing packaging design, and overall satisfaction. Runner-up ALDI Mamia rated best for value for money, alongside Coles, and also got top marks for packaging design. Heinz additionally got the top honours for its variety of packaging options available.

      Top Baby Food Brand − Rafferty’s Garden

      Born in Australia back in 2007, Rafferty’s Garden has grown to become a global baby brand. With a range of food products including breakfasts, custards, purees and snacks, Rafferty’s Garden has all mealtimes sorted. The nutritional information and ingredients of each product are also listed on its website, so it’s easy for busy parents to decide which products to stock up on before heading down to the shops.

      Rafferty’s Garden’s range begins with baby food pouches for those aged four months and older, with spinach, apple, broccoli & pea and pumpkin, apple & sweetcorn being some of the flavours available. Coming in 120g packets, each packet will cost $2 at local supermarkets and shops, with natural ingredients used. Other food pouch lines include those for 6+ months, 8+ months, and ‘mini meals’ for 10+ months with dishes like shepherd’s pie and beef bolognese on the menu. The entire range additionally offers cereals, snacks, yoghurt, and ‘baby bowls’ for 6+ months and 8+ months, made with 100% recyclable packaging.

      Food pouches from Rafferty’s Garden are stated to have a 13-month shelf life and don’t need to be stored in the fridge. The brand also claims there are no additives in its products.

      • Rafferty’s Garden dug up five stars for child enjoyment, variety of flavours and options, ease of opening and dispensing, packaging design, and overall satisfaction. It got four stars for value for money and three stars variety of packaging options.

      Which baby food brand should I buy?

      With so many options of baby food in the supermarket aisles, it becomes a little overwhelming knowing what to pick. With nearly a third of parents surveyed (26%) having a fussy eater on their hands, getting the nod from the family’s smallest critic is more important than price; the variety of flavours available and packaging options were the biggest drivers of customer satisfaction, followed by value for money. Brands like Heinz, ALDI Mamia, and Rafferty’s Garden seemed to tick most of these boxes, making them a safe option for parents to try.

      Here are some of the other standout results from our latest survey:

      The final spoon on baby food

      Mealtime can certainly be a stressful time for households, particularly if you’re rushed, or have more than one child to look after. And it doesn’t help when the bub is a fussy eater, which 26% of respondents said was the case. Our latest survey revealed that over a third of parents (32%) originally intended to make all of their baby’s food from scratch themselves, while a similar amount (33%) admitted feeling guilty for feeding their child packaged baby food.

      All parents want the best for their children, but even if you can’t prepare every single meal from scratch at home, you should be able to find some perfectly good and healthy alternatives on supermarket shelves. Despite nutritional information being widely available, 21% of survey respondents said they worry about their child not getting enough nutrients from baby foods. Although 34% said they’re satisfied that the quality of packaged baby food is generally good. Finding the right brand for your child’s taste buds – and your budget – is the major challenge you face. With that in mind, we hope our customer ratings provide some helpful guidance.

      Chinese Mengniu Dairy intends to acquire Australian baby food manufacturer Bellamy's for $1 billion

      09/26/2019

      Company news

      China's Mengniu Dairy has expressed its intention to acquire Bellamy's, Australia's largest producer of organic baby formula, for approximately A$1.5 billion ($1 billion).

      Photo: from the Internet

      Bellamy's Board of Directors unanimously approved the deal, under which Mengniu will acquire 100% of the company's shares, and urged shareholders to accept the offer.

      Meanwhile, the deal still needs to be approved by Australian regulators, including the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) and the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

      China is the world's largest importer of baby food, but according to WA Today, Australia, Bellamy's is not licensed to operate in the Chinese market by the State Administration for Market Regulation of China (SAMR).

      An Australian company is still awaiting a license from SAMR to sell its organic infant formula in China, despite applying 20 months ago. Meanwhile, Bellamy's says they are "optimistic" about getting a license in the near future.

      Mengniu said they would aim to increase the company's sales in Australia and the entire Asia-Pacific region if the deal is approved.

      Jeffrey Mingfang Lu, CEO Mengniu, said: “ Bellamy’s is a leading Australian brand with a great reputation among Australian parents. Bellamy's experience and local supply capability is critical to our company.

      Bellamy's CEO Andrew Cohen added, “ Mengniu is a leading dairy company in China and an ideal partner for our business. It offers a solid platform for successful development in China, as well as a foundation for growth in the organic dairy and food industry in Australia. This deal will help realize our long-held dreams of promoting our products around the world ".

      When determining the rating, average indicators are revealed. When choosing an institution, one should be guided by the level of the curriculum of the faculty.

      Preschool

      Preschool is compulsory in Queensland and Western Australia. The kindergarten accepts children 4-6 years old. In the rest of the territory, 87% of children attend private kindergartens, where there are no more than 5 children in a group. A year before school, parents take the child to developmental classes at the school.

      Babysitting services are rarely used due to high prices.

      Primary education system

      Children at the age of 6 are sent to primary school. 65% of children study in public institutions, the rest - in private ones. Almost 1% receive knowledge at home - this is practiced by residents of remote rural areas.

      Education is compulsory and free, but parents have to buy textbooks, uniforms and stationery.

      Australia has a well-developed system of inclusive education. Almost 7% of children have developmental features; adaptation classes have been created for them. If parents want their child to study in a regular group, then teachers do not interfere with their desire.

      Secondary education

      Pupils enter secondary school at age 12-14 and choose a specialization. The main subjects remain compulsory, but students receive additional hours in the direction of interest.

      A lot of time is given to practical exercises, experiments and first studies. Students are prepared for final exams and university entrance.

      The academic year lasts 4 quarters, between which there are vacations lasting 2-6 weeks. Near each school there is a sports ground, a library, a music hall and a dining room.

      Student accommodation

      Local students do not live on campuses, most often foreigners consider this option. It's expensive, but convenient - you don't have to get to the institute. Major universities have websites where you can find ads for housing nearby. The cost depends on the type and location, in the center of large cities it will be more expensive.

      Students schedule their studies in such a way that they study 3-4 days a week, so they have enough time for hobbies and entertainment. There are interest clubs at the university in which students enroll.

      Conditions for obtaining a visa

      To obtain a student visa, you need an invitation from the university and documents on enrollment. A minor needs a guardian for the entire duration of the trip. The school must be on the CRI list.

      The visa entitles an adult to work 20 hours a week. Applications can be submitted online or in person. 4 weeks are given for consideration, after this period the candidate is invited for an interview. The main condition is financial solvency and high motivation to study.

      If necessary, visa officers request additional certificates and biometric data. To reduce the time and avoid bureaucracy, you can contact an agency that will help collect all the documents.

      Courses and job prospects

      After graduating from the university, the student can leave the country, take advanced training courses or stay to work. In the latter case, the embassy asks for a temporary graduate visa. With a secondary education, it will be issued for 18 months, for a bachelor - for 2 years, for a master - for 3 years.

      Some employers agree to pay for a graduate's visa if he/she performs well in the internship. Having a temporary visa, you can apply for a permanent one, so many people move to permanent residence through their studies.
