What we say

HEINZ Little Kids range is for toddlers from 1-3 years old. Compared to the baby food ranges, these products have a chunkier texture, which is important for helping along the transition to 'table' (family) foods. The Little Kids range also includes some slightly more 'exotic' recipes and ingredients.

HEINZ Little Kids Pasta Chicken & Vegetables is 37% pasta, 15% vegetables, and 10% chicken. The remainder is made up of thickening agents, cheese, egg, milk, herbs and pineapple juice. Like the Macaroni & Meatballs and Spaghetti Bolognaise, its nutrition profile sees it ticking all the boxes for an all round healthy meal for a toddler –– although adding a few more mixed frozen vegies wouldn't hurt. As anyone with a toddler knows, sometimes it's handy to have something quick and convenient in the cupboard for those times you just don't feel like cooking –– this is a good standby meal.
