Studies have proven that consistently exposing children at a very early age to a potential food allergen can help to reduce the development of a food allergy by up to 80% and SpoonfulOne creates products that are formulated to help prevent food allergies. To simplify the process for parents, the brand offers Mix-Ins that can be added to liquids and food before kids are ready to enjoy solid SpoonfulOne Puffs.
The Mix-Ins can be introduced into a young child's diet as early as four months, helping to integrate foods that are responsible for 90% of food allergies into their daily meals. These products can be purchased as part of bundled one-time purchases, as well as ongoing subscriptions, which offer greater discounts.
The Foundational Food Blend in the Mix-Ins includes ingredients like cashew protein, pecan flour, walnut flour, peanut flour and more.
