Nosh baby food


Grays Peak Capital acquires Nosh Foods rounding out its baby, toddler, and kids snacks portfolio

The move will accelerate Nosh Foods distribution both domestically and internationally, said Grays Peak Capital.

The current size of the US baby and toddler snacking is approximately $450m and the size of US baby food (snacking + purees) is approximately $1.8bn and growing, according to IRI Market Advantage.

In September 2019, Grays Peak Capital purchased organic baby and toddler food and tummy friendly brand, NurturMe.​

"We had everything from pouches to cereal to yogurt, but one of things we didn’t have a lot was the snacking category, so we wanted to fill that out,"​ founder of Grays Peak Capital Scott Stevens told FoodNavigator-USA.

Nosh Foods​​ products are marketed as easy-to-eat, organic snack food products including organic munchable teethers, whole grain puffs, soft oat bars, and gummy fruity stars that promote healthy eating habits and help build foundational food knowledge and developmental skills.

"Their product was completely complementary to what we’re doing, and it also allows us to go and sell to a much larger age group, because now we can go up all the way to 8 or 10 years old," ​noted Stevens.

With the recent acquisition of Nosh Foods, Grays Peak Capital has been able to expand its retailer partnerships to Whole Foods and Target, which Nosh Foods had existing distribution in, as well as introduce the brand into other national accounts such as Walmart.

Jason Becker, CEO of Nosh Foods, said, "We expect this transaction to accelerate our expansion of Nosh Foods in North America and our initiatives internationally. Grays Peak will provide resources and expertise to build out a direct-to-consumer and omnichannel digital approach across the multiple brands."

Outside of brick-and-mortar, Grays Peak Capital is fueling up its international and e-commerce businesses this year, according to Stevens.

'We’re getting some of the largest orders we’ve ever had'

Stevens said the move will help the many parents adjusting to an indefinite period of time working from home and taking care of their kids by giving them access to healthy food options they can feel good about feeding their families.

K-12 school across the country have closed and transitioned to online learning. Many day cares and preschools -- which are primarily privately run and not part of a public national school network -- have taken similar measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 leaving many families scrambling on how to keep their kids occupied and fed.

"There’s not a lot of choices for people to feed their families right now,"​ said Stevens.

Amid the global public health pandemic of COVID-19, Stevens said the NuturMe brand is seeing surging demand for its products.

"As it relates to our business, because schools have all been canceled and most infants, toddlers, and kids are all at home with their parents, our business is up significantly. We’re getting some of the largest orders we’ve ever had because people are looking for alternatives of how to feed their families,"​ said Stevens.

"People are certainly looking to direct to consumer. And I think that’s going to continue for some time, for the next three to five months, I think we’re going to see a continued demand from that as people are just being cautious. "

How to choose the right baby food

A child's menu may differ from another baby's diet, not only due to age, but also due to health conditions (for example, a tendency to constipation or a dairy allergy) and personal preferences. However, the first thing to consider is age. It’s also important to keep in mind that your baby’s diet should be free of added salt and sugar (14). Certain positions deserve some explanation.

Milk formulas

Designed for feeding babies. In fact, they are designed to become an alternative to mother's milk. For the full development of the crumbs, it is necessary that vitamins and trace elements are present in the composition.

Canned puree

Introduced from 4 months. There are fruit, vegetable, meat and fish options. Combinations are also possible. For the first feeding, it is recommended to choose one-component purees from vegetables or fruits.

Porridges

Porridges, as well as mashed potatoes, are recommended to be offered to a baby from 4 months. Thanks to the special processing of cereals, baby porridge is easily boiled, which significantly saves cooking time.

Nectars, juices

You can give your baby juice or nectar from the age of 4 months. As long as it doesn't contain sugar. If available, it is better to wait at least up to 1 year.

Reviews of doctors about manufacturers of baby food

一 Baby food is becoming an object of special attention on the part of the state and parents, 一 says pediatrician Ekaterina Mikhaltsova . - The main advantages of industrial products and dishes are ease of use, balanced composition and minimal cooking time. However, you must strictly follow the age recommendations and cooking rules indicated on the labels.

- Dairy products and baby food in particular are complex production products where quality control is essential at all stages. Therefore, it is better to trust large manufacturers, - explains sanitary doctor Nikolai Dubinin . - It is important to pay attention to the composition and, before offering the child, taste the food yourself. In general, doctors agree that commercially produced baby food is no worse than home-cooked. And some are even better, due to supplements in the form of vitamins and trace elements.

Popular questions and answers

We answer the most common questions about baby food together with pediatrician Ekaterina Mikhaltsova and sanitary doctor, epidemiologist Nikolai Dubinin.

How to choose food for the first feeding?

Pediatricians recommend starting the first complementary foods with vegetable puree. Fruits contain a large amount of fructose, which can irritate the lining of the stomach and other organs of the gastrointestinal tract. Of course, the parent himself can boil and grind vegetables to a puree-like consistency, but it is easier to purchase products in the store, since baby food is made in compliance with special technologies, taking into account all the rules and regulations.

Another question is how to choose a brand among such a variety of baby foods. The best solution is to stick with a well-known brand. Large companies care about their reputation, and therefore strictly follow all established quality standards and do not violate production technology.

The next step is to study the information on the label, make sure the quality, evaluate the following indicators:

Natural composition. Preservatives, salt, sugar and other ingredients must not be present in the composition (at least in products for children under 1 year old).
Consistency (grinding quality). A good puree should be smooth and without lumps.
Multi or single ingredient . The first puree should contain only one ingredient. The child should get used to a certain vegetable, after which it will be possible to introduce others, adding each one in turn, so that the baby gets used to everything individually.
Hypoallergenic product. Formula must not contain ingredients that can cause an allergic reaction.
Package integrity . It is important to inspect the container in detail for dents, scratches or cracks (chips). Tightness must be observed. Don't forget to check the production date.

Which of the Russian manufacturers should I pay attention to?

Baby food brand Agusha has been producing products for over 30 years. The assortment has everything you need for a complete diet for kids: dairy products, cereals, fruit, vegetable and meat purees, juices and compotes. The company produces safe, hypoallergenic, complete nutrition for children of all ages. High-quality substitutes for breast milk and subsequent complementary foods are also produced. It is also recommended to pay attention to the manufacturers "FrutoNyanya" and "Theme".

What composition should healthy baby food have?

When choosing puree in jars, pay attention to the composition. The ingredients should be natural, a good option (especially for younger kids) if the puree is a one-component puree - a fruit or vegetable plus water. Please note that the product does not contain salt, flour, starch, dyes and preservatives, and is not too diluted with water. The vegetable itself may contain starch, but its additional additives are very undesirable.
