Party in a Pot – Novel formulation and processing approaches for reduced sugar in baby foods
Lead Participant:
ELLA'S KITCHEN (BRANDS) LIMITED
Abstract
In the UK there is a major public health problem with overweight and obesity. A lot of this problem can be
traced back to eating habits developed during early years of life. Currently many of the products available to
parents of weaning children are high in sugar or if vegetable based have poor acceptance due to poor taste
and/or texture.
This project is to develop a range of baby and toddler food products with lowest in market sugar contents and
innovative textures. These products will be convienient and are focussed on improving the health of children by
offering better, more nutritional choices at meal times and so developing a healthier relationship with food.
There is considerable potential for market growth both in and outside the UK.
