Whoa, Baby! Toddler Foods Fall Short of Nutritional Requirements

A new study finds that as much as two-thirds of infant and toddler food sold in U.S. supermarkets is unhealthy. 

The George Institute for Global Health looked at 651 food products sold in ten different grocery chains and found all of them made prohibited claims on the packaging.  Some 70 percent didn’t meet nutritional requirements and more than 40 percent had more sugar than recommended.  Some didn’t have enough calories and others had too much sodium.  The results were published Wednesday in the journal Nutrients.
