Each variety is gluten-free and made without added sugars or artificial ingredients. To ensure the highest level of quality, the cereals were developed by a team of scientists, technicians and microbiologists who determined the best ingredients to use in order to provide babies with the best early-life nutrition. The cereals are also branded with adorable zoo animal graphics, which make the products even more appealing to children.
