Baby food of Italian origin, Plasmon-Mipaaft
More Italian raw materials and new research to improve baby food produced in Bel Paese.
The dual purpose is part of an agreement signed on 23.5.19 May between Plasmon, the giant infant and child food, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Forestry and Tourism Policy.
Trademark with guaranteed origin
Protocol provides for the creation of the Plasmon trademark, acknowledging the Italian origin of all raw materials used in its baby food lines, specifically designed for babies and children under 3 years of age. A positive plus for is the brand, given the recognition of the Italian agri-food chain in the world and the high quality that already characterizes Italian baby food. This is the target of for Italian agriculture, always struggling with imported raw materials offered at more competitive prices.
For meat, fruits, vegetables, cereals, milk, fish, butter and other food ingredients used in its products, Plasmon - a trademark of Kraft Heinz Italia - is committed to moving decisively to Made in Italy .
An increase in the supply of 5% of Italian raw materials is predicted from the current 100,000 to 16,000 tons per year over the next 25 years.
Innovation and Sustainability
Mypaaft , for its part, continues to improve the quality of the agri-food sector by challenging the Council for Agricultural Research and Agricultural Economics Review (CREA) to restart research to protect food security and sustainability. Italian productions.
" KREA will contribute to the research and development of innovative systems and solutions for precision farming, traceability, including through blockchain technology, food safety, nutrition and any other areas needed to ensure food safety for children. ," the ministry clarifies.
The contrast of obesity infantile, which today in Italy affects 18% of children aged 6 to 10 years, with the consequences of increased early risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic changes, is another point of agreement.
It will be implemented by promoting the Mediterranean diet among families in order to feed the child in the first thousand days of his life. The right dietary model, which, if properly adjusted, can protect the little ones from unhealthy addiction to junk food, the main cause of the epidemic of obesity and overweight in Italy.

age. I am sure that most of them have questions about what to feed a child in another country before a trip, and therefore I hope that this article will make it easier for someone to plan a vacation.
On a plane with a baby.
In order to give you an idea of the prices of children's products and goods, below, I made a small price review of from the advertising newspaper of the DeSpar supermarket.
Hygiene items
Hygiene items for children in Italy can be bought in supermarkets and shops selling household chemicals, as well as in pharmacies (Farmacia) and sanitation (Sanitaria).
Sanitaria is a store that sells personal care products for adults, newborns and babies, as well as toys, strollers, mattresses, pacifiers, formula bottles and many more things that a baby might need.
Diapers (panolini)
The choice of diapers in Italy is quite large, but I personally chose Pampers Baby-Dry for myself. They are quite soft and elastic, and my son did not cause irritation. During discounts, you can even buy them for a lower price than diapers of cheaper brands . I think this is a very good option for a day when the child is awake and moves a lot.
Their cost is 40 pieces 15.60 € (with a discount of 9.90 €).
We also tried to wear Pampers Sole-e-Luna, they are also good, but I didn’t like that they don’t have special rubber bands with which the diaper fits snugly around the baby’s waist (Pampers Baby-Dry has them). Their cost is 96 pieces 24.90 € (with a discount of 19.90 € ).
Huggies diapers - I personally didn’t like them at all, the gel that retains urine swells a lot, and then hangs down a lot, thereby preventing the child from moving comfortably, plus a rash appeared after them. One plus of these diapers, the lowest price listed above. To be honest, I didn’t even buy other diapers (of a lower cost), although they are available and they are bought by both Italians and foreigners.
To combat diaper rash, I used Bepanthenol cream (in the pharmacy, a large tube of 9.00 €), or the old-fashioned way - powder (borotalco).
Milk formulas
Below, I have listed milk formulas (up to 6 months old) found in Italian supermarkets and their prices.
- Neolatte - contains adapted protein and prebiotics, without sucrose and gluten (800 grams - 11.00 €).
- Nipiol - adapted infant formula (800 grams - 8.50 €).
- Mio - adapted milk formula (800 grams - 9.50 €).
- Humana - contains omega fatty acids, prebiotics and nucleotides, lactose and glucose, does not contain sucrose (800 grams - 37.00 €).
- Hipp - lactose, minerals and unsaturated fatty acids, milk is used from cows grazing in fields not contaminated with toxins and chemical fertilizers, does not contain
- sucrose and gluten (800 grams - 10.00 €).
- Nidina - contains live bacteria, a mixture partially made from hydrolyzed proteins to facilitate digestion. Ingredients: minerals, lactose, vitamins (800 grams - 15.00 €).
Baby puree (omogeneizzati)
I bought the most common brands of baby puree : Plasmon and Mellin .
Plasmon - produces a variety of products for babies from 4 months. These are fruit and meat purees, cereal mixtures, jarred cheeses, yoghurts, cookies, fortified milk, cakes and sweets. Personally, I did not like fruit puree, it seemed too sweet.
I also didn’t buy biscotto very often, although this product is very popular among Italians, they are fed to babies from a very early age, it dissolves very well in milk, and it is impossible for them to choke.
Meat and fish puree in Italian supermarkets, also in a very large assortment. In small jars (packaging 2×80 grams) you can find chicken, veal, rabbit, beef, turkey, ham, assorted different flavors, and even horse meat, as well as sea bream, trout, salmon and more.
For my son I bought Mellin fruit puree.
From about 4 months old, if the baby stops growing, complementary foods are introduced into the diet - in our case it was a porridge made from rice or other cereals, with vegetable broth.
All these things are sold in the supermarket, so you do not need to grind and waste a lot of time. You know, here they even sell ready-made vegetable broth, and no one considers it shameful to feed a child with it, the doctor personally told me that all the ingredients for complementary foods must be bought in the store)). Then meat or fish from a jar is gradually added to this complementary food, and a little olive oil, and if everything is fine, later such a soup is cooked not with porridge, but with pastina.
Pastina are small pasta for babies, they come in different shapes and sizes, the same pasta as adults but many times smaller. When the pasta is boiled soft, it turns into an almost homogeneous mass, and cannot get stuck in the child's throat in any way. They give such pasta from 6 months, but in individual cases it is possible earlier.
Other products for children in Italy
Products such as strollers, car seats, cribs and other products for newborns can be bought in specialized stores or supermarkets.
I bought the stroller from Chicco. It was one of the most inexpensive, although initially they found a good stroller in the catalog, a larger one, more expensive, with large wheels, in the color we needed. But when ordering, the seller dissuaded us, arguing that it is inconvenient to use (it does not fold like a cane, but simply falls down), it is very difficult to place it in the trunk of a car due to its bulky size.
As a result, after consulting with my husband, we chose a more simplified 3 in 1 option, at that time its price was 320.00 € - a cradle, a summer stroller cane and a car seat for newborns. And I want to say that I was very pleased with our choice. My son is already 4 years old, we have not used the stroller for a long time, but during the time of use it has never broken and has remained in excellent condition. In Italy, of course, there are a lot of companies selling such goods, of course, there are strollers much cheaper than they offer in Chicco, if you search you can find.
