Rafferty's Garden promotes itself as a Premium Baby Food range. The packaging is promoted as BPA free and this is commendable.
Today I will analyse the ingredient list on one of their 'Round the World' meal range, namely 'Beef Bourguignon'.
The first 3 ingredients are vegetables (41.5%), cooking water, and Beef (8%). This is fine although a higher % of beef would certainly have been more desirable, as well as the use of Organic beef with the exact cut used, named.
This left me pondering as to what % of the entire contents was water? Anywhere between 9 & 41% as it's listed 2nd.
This also left me to calculate that the remaining 9 ingredients constituted anything from as low as 10.5% to as high as 41.5%. Quite a range and, considering that 10th on the list is Yeast Extract ( a form of MSG) this lack of clarity on percentages is disappointing. There should be NO forms of MSG in toddler's products.
This is especially true when the range is marketed as a premium range- consumers wish to know exactly what they are feeding their children. It would be so helpful to make a more informed decision about this product if even the % of water was given. No one wants to pay a premium price for essentially 49.5% of actual real food plus a somewhat unclear % of water and added condiments.
