My child has an allergy. How can I find out which of your foods would be suitable?

Answer

We have different levels of risk regarding the presence of allergens or risk of cross contamination in our foods, and we want to give you as much information as possible to help you make a decision as to whether the food is suitable for your circumstances.

There’s a few ways you can find out:

On our packs

Any allergens that are present in our foods, including cereals containing gluten, are shown in bold in the ingredients list. On pack we also declare which allergens our foods may contain. We carry out a risk assessment to determine whether an advisory statement is needed and try to avoid a blanket ‘may contain' statement on our foods, as this can be equally unhelpful. Just because an allergen is present in the same factory, it doesn't necessarily mean there is a risk of cross contamination, and if this is not stated on our packs then the allergens are fully controlled to prevent the risk of cross contamination.

On our foods pages

Where you can find all the allergen information about each food.

If you have any more questions or concerns, please do get in touch.

Is your palm oil sustainably sourced?

Answer

Our palm oil growers and suppliers are certified members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the world’s leading organisation working to sustainable and ethical values in palm oil production. Requirements include commitments to country laws, environmental responsibility, welfare of workers and new crop planting.

The growers we source from are located in Colombia and Brazil and are committed to sustainable palm oil. We don’t source palm oil from regions that are home to orang-utans, so we can be confident that we aren’t contributing to the loss of their habitat.

We are also members of RSPO which ensures our whole supply chain from start to finish is certified.

Although we’re confident in our choice of supply we understand the concerns that are raised and we will continue to ensure all precautions are taken with our foods and raw materials to provide the utmost reassurance.

Why don’t you add other vitamins or minerals to your foods?

Answer

We don’t fortify any of our foods with vitamins or minerals. This is because fortifying foods isn’t permitted under organic standards unless it’s required by an overriding law (for example, the law about thiamin). We believe that feeding babies a variety of foods is the best way to get the various nutrients they need.
