A guideline produced by the UK government in 2010 has stipulated that home cooking should always reign over commercialized baby goods. The health-conscious parent can now rejoice at the Deluxe Food Mill created by KidCo. The mill provides the opportunity for parents to puree and blend their own [fresh food ingredients for their toddler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-spoon-babyblends). Extremely efficient for busy parents, the food mill is a BPA-free and [dishwasher-safe food grinder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-pull-food-processor) that comes with a travel bag for people on the go. The package includes a snap-on lid, a 4 oz feeding cup, a cutting blade and a medical-grade stainless steel strainer.
