Squeeze pouch is a tubeshaped package with food for baby, sports and space food.
Overview
editSqueeze pouch (or Baby food pouch, Fruit pouch, Pouch and Squeeze bag) is a tube-shaped package with usually fruit or baby food that has a liquid or porridge-like consistency. The product intended for kids from about six months was invented in 2007[1] and pouches were introduced in the US in 2008.[2] The product has become popular with parents and toddlers.
The bags are intended for use as snacks. One manufacturer recommends serving the product directly on a spoon for easy feeding. However, it happens that toddlers squeeze the packaging and suck in the contents.
Similar packaging and contents are also available for adults as space food[3] and as sports-related nutrition.[4]
Criticism
editPediatricians have expressed concerns about the intake of supplementary pouches and also about the content including sugar/energy and the risk of tooth decay and obesity.[5] Similar theoretical concerns are e.g. delaying motor development, diluting nutritional quality and increasing picky eating in young kids.[6]
Research
editInfants who are exposed to baby food pouches are also exposed to other forms of fruits and vegetables.[7] Even moderately with fruit pouches does not cause excess weight (at the age of 18 months).[8] and consumption of fruit pouches are not associated with early manifestations of allergic disease.[9]
