Are Earth's Best products gluten free?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. It is also present in a number of other grains and/or grain products: bulgur, couscous, durum, graham flour, kamut, malt, semolina, spelt, triticale. As such, all products containing these ingredients contain gluten. Oat products often come in cross contact with gluten containing grains due to harvesting, storage, and transportation. Our product labels list all ingredient information. If your child has gluten sensitivity we recommend you read individual product labels and consult your pediatrician. The Celiac Disease Foundation is a resource with information for people with gluten intolerance often know as Celiac Disease. They also have special programs for children afflicted with this intolerance. Another resource is at KidsHealth.org.

Earth's Best single ingredient Second Foods have the same ingredients as single ingredient First foods, but with a slightly thicker texture and in a larger jar for older babies with bigger appetites.
 

Why is ascorbic acid added to your infant jarred foods?

Ascorbic acid is Vitamin C. It is added to Earth's Best infant jarred foods at 45% of the Recommended Daily Value for Vitamin C. Vitamin C is important for young babies to maintain general health and aid the absorption of iron that is crucial to early physical and neurological development.
