A recent study published in the journal Nutrients reveals that nearly 60% of baby and toddler food products in the U.S. fail to meet the World Health Organization's nutritional guidelines. The research, conducted by The George Institute for Global Health, assessed 651 products across major grocery chains and found that 70% did not meet protein requirements, 44% had excessive sugar levels, and 20% exceeded sodium limits. Pouches and snack foods were identified as particularly problematic, with fewer than 7% meeting total sugar recommendations and many containing misleading marketing claims. Experts, including dietitians and pediatricians, stress the importance of parents avoiding high-sugar and high-sodium products to prevent chronic diseases in children. Researchers called for increased regulation to protect consumers, linking poor dietary choices to future health risks such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
