23.01.2022 Processed baby foods that are high in added sugar from concentrated fruit ingredients are being marketed as healthy, posing a health risk to infants a new study... has found. The study looked at 181 products for children 12 months and under and found added sugar, mostly from fruit concentrates, in one in five baby foods. The study found 13 products contained cane sugar along with other added sugars, including coconut syrup. The analysis also assessed nutrition content, ingredients, and packaging statement Cancer Council dietitian Alison McAleese, who undertook the review said families have a right to know when so-called healthy baby foods are packed with added sugar and should avoid these products.
