A BBC Panorama investigation has called out top baby food brands for being nutritionally poor in the UK. New University of Leeds research warns the market is awash with low-quality products that are masked by misleading names and on-pack messaging. They call for stronger regulation to protect baby health. Nutrition Insight speaks to companies that came under fire in the probe, whose products were found to contain high sugar, low iron, or lost vitamin C in the manufacturing process. Ella’s Kitchen, Heinz, Lidl, Little Freddie, and Piccolo tell us their products are meant to complement a weaning diet, not a sole source of nutrition.
