Why is vitamin and mineral content not listed on HiPP products?
Vitamins and minerals cannot be added to organic baby foods (with the exception of thiamin in cereal-based foods and vitamin C in some fruit juices) as the Organic Food Regulations will not allow them to be added. Therefore, the only vitamins and minerals present in the foods are those found naturally in the ingredients used in each variety. We use manufacturing methods that aim to retain as much of these as possible, by using the minimum amount of water necessary to cook the ingredients and the shortest cooking time possible. In this way you can be certain that many of the naturally-occurring nutrients are retained, and the losses are far less than would be found with home-cooking. Although we do not list these values on the labels, this doesn’t mean there are none in the products.
