Baby Food Trends
Baby and toddler food brands are developing products that promote gut health, provide myriad vitamins and nutrients and encourage a broader flavour palate from birth. However, the wider industry is coming under increasing pressure to provide cleaner and healthier ‘first foods’.

Palate-Building Pioneers
Supporting infant gut health and early-years allergy prevention are the top wellness priorities for baby food brands, with new clinical research validating their importance. Meanwhile, tech-forward product developers are turning to cell cultivation and precision fermentation to create infant formulas that are as nutritionally close to breast milk as possible.

Summary
Reaching Childhood Health Goals | Supporting infant gut health and early-years allergy prevention are the top wellness priorities for baby food brands, with new clinical research validating their importance. Meanwhile, tech-forward product developers are turning to cell cultivation and precision fermentation to create infant formulas that are as nutritionally close to breast milk as possible. |
Missing the Nutrition Mark | Baby food brands are coming under increasing scrutiny for failing to provide nutritious and safe products. This includes selling an abundance of ultra-processed and high-sugar foods that encourage a sweet tooth from a young age. Infant foods high in heavy metals and other harmful contaminants have also made the headlines. |
Palate-Building Pioneers | Promoting a diverse palate from an early age – and thereby helping parents raise non-picky eaters – is a priority for baby food producers. Some are offering an expansive range of globally inspired pouches and weaning foods, while others focus on introducing infants to a single flavour at a time. |
