Best Organic Baby Food (Budget-Friendly)
Learn which organic baby foods are the most flavorful, affordable, and easy to serve to baby. I’ll share options low in heavy metals, plus storage tips and organic baby food recipes, too.
Organic Baby Food
There can be so much pressure on all of us to feed baby the “right” foods from the start, and my goal with this post is to take some of the confusion out of it by vetting the top organic baby food brands for you.
I will cover everything from the best, most transparent baby food brands to money saving tips, storage tips, and even easy homemade recipes to try. Use the TOC below to skip right to the section you’re most interested in, or scroll down to read all the information.
And remember: There’s no one “right” way to feed a baby. There is a lot of nuance and variation that is normal and understandable since we each have our own unique contexts. I am a big believer in choosing a wide range of foods, whether organic, local, conventional, fresh, or frozen, and that fed is always best.
Organic Baby Food Brands
Below are some of the top organic baby food brands currently on the market. (Many of these are available in grocery stores and big-box stores, but some are only available directly on the brand’s website.)
All of these brands make organic Stage 1 baby foods, plus additional stages with mixed foods and textures. And some even do finger foods, too.
- Cerebelly: This company was founded by a neurosurgeon and focuses on including nutrients that support baby’s brain development and growth. Their flavors are just yummy, too, and they have organic purees and snack bars for toddlers.
- Happy Family Organics Clearly Crafted Line: The multi-grain cereals in this line are nice organic options, and they’re fortified with iron (which babies need), too.
- Amara Organic Baby Food: We love this line of baby food since it comes in packets (less waste) and it has more texture than most other baby foods—so it feels more like homemade baby food in baby’s mouth.
- Yumi Baby Food: Yumi is a certified organic mail-order company that has a broad range of textures and flavors, as well as fun partnerships with chefs. They deliver weekly.
- Little Spoon: This baby food company is delivered to your door. They make pouches that are similar to what you’d make at home (only you don’t have to make them!) that need to be stored in the fridge or freezer. And you can choose Stage 1, 2, or 3 and up according to where your baby is in their solid-food journey.
- Beech-Nut: This classic company makes an organic line of jars of single-ingredient baby foods as well as pouches, melts, and snack bars for older babies. They are widely available in grocery stores and are often well-priced.
- Earth’s Best Organics: This organic baby food company is a staple in the baby food aisle. We like their multi-grain cereal and savory pouches.
- Sprout Organics: We like the flavor blends from this organic baby food brand. They also make pouches, snacks, full meals, and smoothies.
- Serenity Kids: This is an option if you’re looking for grain-free baby foods as they have many savory options that are nutrient-dense—and include flavors and ingredients that are less common in baby food (such as bison!).
- Gerber: This widely available classic has an organic line. I prefer their multi-grain cereals to the rice-based ones, as they naturally tend to have lower risk for heavy metals. (They make organic and conventional versions, which are nutritionally similar but may differ in price.)
How to Save Money on Organic Baby Food
The easiest way to save money on baby food is to not feel like you have to buy 100% of your baby’s food—and instead use those purchased options as is helpful, then add in easy homemade foods that are similar to what you’re eating.
This can help feeding be both convenient and affordable.
Also: Always start with a small serving in a bowl and plan to store the rest for a future meal to prevent food waste. Offer food according to baby’s hunger, which may be more or less than you’re expecting.
Store your baby food safely in the fridge or freezer so it’s good to use again.
Organic Baby Food Snacks
When looking for baby snacks, which are useful to take on the go or to round out a meal, here are some of our go-to options. Consider using any of these that are made with rice as the first ingredient as an occasional snack (as rice tends to have the most concerns with potentially higher levels of arsenic).
- Amara Organic Smoothie Melts
- Serenity Kids Grain-Free Puffs
- Plum Organics Puffs
- Mission Mighty Me Peanut Puffs
- Happy Baby Teether Crackers
TIP: Find my full list of Puffs for Babies with additional information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic baby food good for babies?
Organic baby food is an option for baby as long as it’s food they tolerate well and aren’t allergic too.
Which baby food brand is healthiest?
There isn’t one answer since what every individual means by “healthy” can vary so much.
The brands included in this post are delicious options for baby.
What is the safest baby food brand?
Brands including Yumi and Cerebelly and more are transparent about ingredient sourcing and have more rigorous testing for heavy metals. But again, “safe” may mean something different to you and it’s important to remember that all food sold in stores has to follow general food safety guidelines.

12 Best Organic Baby Food Brands to Buy 2022

As a busy parent, time isn’t always on your side. Making baby food from scratch can be stressful and time consuming, especially when it comes to appeasing picky eaters. Luckily, there are several pre-made organic baby food options that take the guesswork out of feeding your child.
Since the National Organic Program of the USDA has developed strict rules and regulations that govern USDA certified organic foods, those carrying the USDA organic seal cannot contain GMOs or any artificial preservatives, colors or flavors. And certain studies show that organic fruits and vegetables have significantly more antioxidant polyphenols than conventionally grown produce.
Encouraging an abundance and variety of fruits and vegetables at all ages is key, but organically grown produce can provide some additional benefits without the GMOs or preservatives.
And speaking of ages, our nutrition experts point out that baby food stages aren’t standardized but there are general guidelines that many brands utilize. Keep in mind that every baby develops differently, and some babies are ready for stage 2 before they are 7 months old, while others may not be ready until they are closer to 10 months old. Talk to your pediatrician to help guide you throughout the process, and remember that it’s important for babies to advance through the stages on their own time.
As a general rule of thumb, Stage 1 foods generally consist of a single ingredient purees and are ideal for babies ages 4-6 months. Stage 2 foods are best for babies ages 6-9 months and start to incorporate more than one ingredient. Stage 3 foods are for babies 9-12 months, and they feature a lot of different textures and new flavors.
Stage 4 foods are for babies at least one year of age and typically indicate that table food can be introduced.
A note on heavy metals in baby food: If you’ve heard about concerns regarding heavy metals in baby food, it’s important to know that they are naturally occurring and enter the food supply from natural sources like soil, water and air. It is nearly impossible to completely avoid these metals, but parents can minimize the risk by feeding their baby a variety of foods. Opt for grain-based cereals and snacks instead of rice-based options and be sure to limit fruit juices. Our experts say you can and should keep giving carrots and sweet potatoes because they contain important nutrients, but given that they grow in the ground, they may naturally contain higher levels of heavy metals so be sure to serve them along with other fruits and vegetables.
To make sure you're giving your child the very best, we put several brands to the test through a panel of kids, moms and editors to see which organic baby food products are the best for your baby.
We’ve also included information on what measures each brand is taking regarding minimizing heavy metals in their products. Here are the best organic baby foods of 2022:
