Kids Meals Retail Testing

Did you know that there are no legal requirements for testing heavy metals for kids older than 2? At Nurture life we believe safety should go beyond just baby food. That’s why we test every meal we make for babies, toddlers, and kids. We’ve created the industry’s highest testing standards for kids meals to help limit your little one’s exposure to heavy metals. See test results below for Lead, Arsenic, Mercury, and Cadmium.
