HOW
GERBER Zucchini CHILDREN PUREE IS PRODUCEDGrocery Business
Denis Savoskin
World-famous baby food brand Gerber® has launched a new website where you can find comprehensive information about baby food purees.
The main goal of the project is to provide parents with an opportunity to trace the entire path of mashed potatoes from the farm to the store shelf: where the crop is grown, how the product is produced, how its quality is ensured and monitored and under what conditions it is stored. nine0003
“One of the most important stages in a child's life is the introduction of complementary foods. It affects the further health and formation of taste preferences, which often persist for life. We know that parents choose the best for their children and take their baby's nutrition seriously. It is really extremely important for them to understand what parameters to choose products, what it consists of or where it is produced. For these purposes, the specialists of the Gerber® brand have launched a new website. Now moms and dads will be able to get comprehensive information about Gerber® puree – all the stages of its production and useful properties,” commented Sofia Bryantseva, Leading Nutritionist at Nestlé Russia.

The complementary feeding phase is a “critical window” for developing food tolerance and preventing micronutrient deficiencies. Vegetable complementary foods are recommended to start with monocomponent purees, which are in the Gerber® baby food line, a well-known brand with more than 90 years of history.
For example, Gerber® zucchini puree is made from vegetables grown on farms in the Ebro Valley, on the Ribera del Douro and in Alicante (Spain). The fields are located very close to the processing workshops - no more than three hours pass between harvesting and fruit processing, which guarantees the maximum preservation of the useful properties of fresh zucchini. nine0003
By the way, marrow is a very difficult vegetable to use in the production of complementary foods. To produce a puree that meets Gerber®'s exacting standards, the nitrate levels and water content of the zucchini flesh must be carefully controlled. To do this, the company has developed a special strategy for their cultivation and preparation.
