Q: What is the source of added sugar?
submitted by Mrs Concerned - 1 year ago
A: Gerber Cereals contain trace amounts of naturally occurring sugar – this is part of the carbohydrate content noted in the Nutrition Facts. The Nutrition Facts list less than 1 gram of added sugar per serving, which is not a significant amount in the diet. This is from some of the grain starch that is converted to sugar during the process of making our dry cereals. We do this to help give our dry cereal its very fine flake texture. If you have any further questions, please give us a ring at 1-800-4-GERBER (1-800-443-7237) anytime 24/7.

This new packaging uses approximately 90% less plastic than the previous design, resulting in a significantly smaller environmental footprint. By making this change, we’re reducing waste and helping create more environmentally responsible packaging solutions. We'll be sure to get your feedback to our packaging team. If you have any questions or would like to provide additional feedback, we’re always here to help—please give us a call anytime at 1‑800‑4‑GERBER (1‑800‑443‑7237).

Found something inside the cereal!
I’ve used Gerber cereals for all three of my kids and never had an issue until now. My first two are older (one is even a teen), and I always trusted this brand. But with my 3rd baby, I found something inside the oatmeal cereal that definitely shouldn’t be there. It was shocking and honestly really disappointing. I threw out the whole cereal. For a baby product, quality control should be much better.

Great first food for babies!
My little one has been on this for several months now and he loves it! We initially started it per his pediatricians recommendation to thicken his formula because he has reflux. He took well to it and has been on it ever since. We have started purées now and still just as good!

Not the same with new packaging?
No more 100% iron with the new packaging? But it states that it’s same quality and same taste with the new packaging…

A baby product should not contain added sugar
It has added sugars! Also don't microwave breastmilk you will breakdown the nutrients in it which is what the instructions tell you to do

Poorly designed
My baby likes the oatmeal but the container itself is very poorly made. The lid does not stay on, causing spills.

Oatmeal for lunch
My baby boy eats oatmeal with his fruits. Normally around lunch time 11am. He knows exactly what it is and gets so excited EVERY TIME. 🤣🤣 he is 7 months old now and is very healthy and chunky. The title grow and gain does not disappoint. 10 out of 10 I love Gerber products

Great starter
My son ate this cereal from the first day we were cleared to eat solid foods and hasn’t stopped. We mix in new flavors and sometimes have it plain. He enjoys it! It’s quick and easy to mix.

Needs a better lid!
The oatmeal itself is perfectly fine, but the container is so frustrating! The lid falls off all the time, I've spilled more than half of the container of oatmeal just because the lid will not stay on. I like to put this in my diaper bag so I can feed him on the go, but the amount of times it's spilled in my diaper bag is ridiculous.

I put this in every bottle for my baby
My baby's pediatrician told me to buy this to put in my baby's bottle to thicken it and help with her spit up issues. I'm so glad I bought this, not only did it help with her spit up issues but it helped by introducing her to solids also. I put this cereal in every one of my baby's bottles and it even fills her up quicker and helped put some weight on her! I love this stuff.

Baby Oatmeal that Babies Will Love
My little loved this baby oatmeal when it was time for him to consume a little more. It was easy to mix, and he loved to smack his lips, and really enjoyed it mixed with breastmilk. I really believe it helped with some minor digestion issues he was having at the time as well. I'm always cautious when going to the next step when it comes to new eating milestones for your baby. Thankfully Gerber takes the guess work out of it. I have been able to trust this brand.

Huge hit
I bought this for my baby when he first started on cereal, he loves it and he had no issues with the transition to it! Starting him out on solids was so nerve wrecking but he did great and this cereal has been a huge hit!
