There’s a wide range of HiPP organic baby food to choose from, including vegetable purées, fruit purées, meat preparations and evening cereals in different sizes and for different age groups. For parents in the UK, price isn’t the only consideration. The ingredients list, recommended age, pack size and practical storage after opening are important too.
Baby food with no added sugar can still contain naturally occurring sugars from fruit or cereals. For example, no sugar is added to HiPP Bio Forest Fruits in Apple; according to the product information, the sugars it contains come from the fruit used. The fruit purée is 99.7% fruit.
When comparing different products, it’s worth distinguishing between these claims:
Not all organic baby food is automatically suitable for starting weaning. According to the product information, some HiPP vegetable jars and simple fruit preparations are suitable from 5 months. The supplied information for HiPP Good Night Oats and Apple Milk Porridge, however, states that it is suitable from 8 months, even though the product name may suggest an earlier age. Always follow the current label and the preparation instructions on the packaging.
Multipacks of baby food jars can make shopping easier and affect the price per jar. At the same time, parents should check whether they’ll use the full quantity within its shelf life. According to the information for the individual products, opened fruit jars should be kept covered in the fridge and used within three days. For vegetable and meat preparations, any unheated leftovers are often recommended for use the next day.
For organic baby food from 5 months, simple, finely puréed vegetables or fruit can be easier to assess than more complex combinations. Products such as parsnip, pumpkin or apple contain just a few ingredients, making it easier to compare them one at a time. Introduce solid foods in line with your baby’s development and the advice of your healthcare professional.
Look out for:
“Baby food without additives” isn’t a standardised quality term. What matters is which substances are actually listed in the ingredients. For example, a product with no added sugar may still contain fruit sugars.
125-g jars are suitable for small portions or first tastes. 190-g jars may be more practical for bigger appetites. For baby fruit purées in 160 g or 190 g packs, it’s also worth checking whether they’re intended as a dessert, snack or ingredient for porridge.
After opening, use a clean spoon to take out the amount you need. Cover any leftovers and store them in the fridge. Check the temperature and texture before feeding. Don’t offer any food that your baby has left uneaten again.

For a fruity snack, you could consider HiPP Bio Apple from 5 months, HiPP Forest Fruits in Apple in a pack of six, or the apple, nectarine and mango combination from 6 months. For all fruit purées, remember that “no added sugar” doesn’t mean low in sugar.
If you’d like to compare individual vegetables, there’s also plain parsnip, spinach with potatoes, or buttered vegetables with sweet potato. For recipes containing milk, butter or cereals, check the ingredients and allergen information carefully.
It depends on the product. According to the product information, many simple vegetable and fruit jars are intended for babies from 5 months. Other products, particularly some evening porridges or meals with several ingredients, may only be suitable from 6 or 8 months. Always follow the information on the current label.
The fruit products in this selection should be covered, kept in the fridge and used within three days. Vegetable and meat preparations are often intended to be used by the following day. Always follow the instructions on the individual pack.
No. “No added sugar” means that no extra sugar has been added. Fruit and cereals can still contain naturally occurring sugars. For a balanced assessment, consider the ingredients list, nutrition table, age range and portion size together.
