If you want to buy food online, you’ll quickly find a wide range of fruit purées, baby food with no added sugar, dried fruit, frozen fruit and Asian ingredients. However, product pages can vary considerably when it comes to ingredients, age recommendations, pack sizes and storage instructions. So a low price alone won’t tell you whether an item is right for your household.
A fruit purée with no added sugar can still contain naturally occurring sugars. This is to be expected in products made from apples, pears, bananas or dates. The ingredients list and nutritional information per 100 g or 100 ml are what matter. Checking the carbohydrate and sugar figures helps you avoid false expectations.
An organic food label should be accompanied by a verifiable inspection reference on the packaging. Individual products may, for example, display DE-ÖKO-006, IT-BIO-007 or NL-BIO-01. It’s also worth checking that the product contains only the ingredients you expect, rather than additions such as juice concentrate, acidity regulators or gelling agents.
For baby products, the age recommendation is an important selection criterion. A purée labelled for babies from 5 or 6 months isn’t automatically suitable for every child or every dietary situation. Snacks for older children may contain grains or soya, or carry a warning about traces of other allergens. Once opened, products also need to be used within a short time. Frozen fruit must not be refrozen after thawing.
For an organic fruit purée or baby food with no added sugar, look for a clear, straightforward ingredients list. According to the product information, Alnatura Organic Apple Puree is made from organically grown apples. FruchtBar Organic Fruit Purée with Pear, Apple and Millet contains 3% millet flour as well as fruit, and is intended for babies from 6 months. In both cases, “no added sugar” doesn’t mean sugar-free: the fruit contains natural sugars.
Additional ingredients can affect the texture or shelf life of fruit purée for the whole family. Jeden Tag Wild Cranberries, for example, contain 40% wild cranberries, sugar, water and pectin. That makes them quite different from a plain apple purée.
For products aimed at babies and toddlers, check the specific age recommendation. According to the product description, Alnatura Pear Purée is suitable from 5 months, while several FruchtBar products are intended for babies from 6 months. The HiPP Smoothie Mix is labelled for children from 13 months.
Children should be supervised while eating from a pouch. Some products also come with a warning against prolonged sucking. This is particularly relevant for fruit-based snacks and purées. Once opened, leftovers must be refrigerated and used within 1 to 2 days, depending on the product.
Larger packs are handy if you use a product regularly. Smaller individual portions may be more practical for outings or when you want to manage your supplies carefully. Once opened, dried fruit should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
For red dates, check whether they’re pitted and ready to eat. HEYU Premium Jujube 800 g comes in five individual 160 g bags and must be washed and cooked thoroughly before eating. According to the product information, Be&Cheery First Grade Pitted Red Dates 500 g are already pitted and ready to eat. These differences affect how you can use them in tea, soups, porridge or baking.

For a well-stocked cupboard and freezer, frozen fruit such as blueberries or mango can be a useful addition to fruit purée. It’s ideal for smoothies, desserts and baking, but must be kept at -18 °C or colder at all times. By contrast, tinned fruit and vegetables such as peeled organic tomatoes can be stored at room temperature while unopened, and are great for pasta, soups and stews.
If you’re looking for vegan food or Asian ingredients, check the instructions for after opening as well as the ingredients list. Once opened, tinned products should be transferred to a suitable container. This makes it easier to manage shelf life, recipe quantities and storage space.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
No. “No added sugar” means that no extra sugar has been added. Fruit still contains natural sugars. Always check the ingredients list and nutritional information on the packaging.
It depends on the product. Several baby fruit purées in pouches should be refrigerated after opening and used within 1 to 2 days. Always follow the specific manufacturer’s instructions on the label.
Frozen fruit should be stored at -18 °C or colder until you’re ready to use it. Once thawed, it should be eaten promptly and not refrozen. Also check that the pack is undamaged and whether the fruit is sold plain or with other ingredients.
