Guide to Baby Food Manufacturers
Work with both traditional and organic baby food manufacturersTwo of the top baby food companies include Gerber and Beech Nut. Both of these companies produce a large number of baby food items, including pureed vegetables, fruits, cereals and snacks.
1. Choose the products you want to retail. Besides old staples, like pureed vegetables and fruits, considering ordering a range of specialized products from infant food companies, like puff snacks and baby biscuits.
2. Look at the different manufacturers of baby food. You’ll want to work with a company that produces quality products with a highly efficient labeling program. Infant food manufacturers should label whether the product contains nuts, dairy and gluten.
3. Order your items from different baby food companies. Give your customers a selection by ordering a range of baby food items from several different baby food manufacturing companies.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Compare baby food brands
Besides the top brands, like Gerber and Beech Nut, look at smaller baby food producers to see what types of products they have to offer. Gerber and Beech Nut have a very similar product catalog, so smaller companies give you a chance to offer a better variety.
I recommend:
Check out the brand Parent’s Choice when comparing the available baby food brands. Another smaller scale company you may want to consider using is Gaia Baby Food. They offer classes where you make homemade baby food in their facility to take home--something you won't find from larger baby food production companies. They give you the ingredients and know-how, and you get a week's worth of healthy baby food.
Locate organic baby food manufacturers
Recent growth in the organic food market makes it viable for small business owners to include products from organic baby food manufacturers.
I recommend:
If you want to order from the leader in organic baby food production, then contact Earth’s Best. Check out the HAPPYBABY foods. This baby food manufacturer makes premium organic food for babies, including probiotic dry cereals, frozen organic entrées and pureed organic vegetables.
Work with top baby food suppliers
Prepare your figures prior to placing orders with baby food suppliers. You'll want to estimate the amount of baby food you need to order to satisfy your customer base.
I recommend:
For contact information on organic baby food suppliers, select one of the links provided on EcoBusinessLinks. For a more comprehensive list of baby food suppliers, you can use the Global Sources site, a part of Trade Media Holdings Ltd.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Besides listing possible allergens on their products, baby food companies need to label suggested age ranges of the different food items. You'll likely find the food separated into different stages of infancy, starting with as young as 3 to 6 months. Stock your shelves with a range of ages to appeal to all customers with infants.
