I bought a package of Gerber arrowroot cookies for my little one who loves to eat. I open the package and glance at the ingredients "high fructose corn syrup". Really?!?? I was pretty upset. I suppose I should have checked the package better before buying it. I'm not even sure what other chemicals they have loaded in there. I didn't get past the high fructose corn syrup jumping off the bag at me.
Seriously, you can buy bread that announces in big letters across the front "No High Fructose Corn Syrup". So many things are proudly putting that on their labels; soup, broth, juice, and syrup to name a few. This is baby food we're talking about!! Their little systems can't process the chemicals the way we can, not that we should even be eating it either.
Gerber is supposed to be one of the, if not the, leading baby food company. This was very dissappointing for me. I must say though, I'm not that surprised. When all the BPA in plastic was coming out in the open, Gerber was using a number 7 plastic. I had to throw all of my Gerber sippy cups and plastics out. I don't even buy Gerber baby food because it comes in plastic and is not marked with a code. I was too skeptical that they had something to hide and I would just prefer to buy a glass jar.
