strawberry puffs- is that a no?

Mrs.Carlybella · February 2010

DH picked some up at target (I think they are apple strawberry). I thought strawberry was one of those major no-no foods, or is that just fresh?

I can't imagine puffs being a huge snack for toddlers, so imagine it is safe for the under one crowd, but I am still hesitant (not that allergies run in our families)

does it have "real" strawberries in it? most of those things are just flavored, so the allergins wouldn't be in them.

hi btw!

Nah, I doubt there is even strawberry in it, more the flavor. If it is strawberry juice flavored, it wouldn't be a significant amount. I've given DS strawberry yogurt.

Just test him with actual strawberry for a few days first.

We gave them strawberry apple sauce for 4 days. When there was no reaction we moved on to other strawberry products.

You know...I thought nothing of it until reading this. I've been giving LO the strawberry apple puffs for the past month or so with no problems.

They have strawberry puree in them. My DD has had them & the other strawberry purees & yogurt & has been fine.

I feel like an azz...i've been giving DS strawberries in his mesh teether forever... I had no idea they were a high allergy food

I'm pretty sure it's just fresh strawberries that are the problem--processed should be ok.

It's only fresh strawberries that are allergenic. Most of the prepared products have cooked strawberry puree, and most LOs are ok with that.

Strawberries in commercial baby food is different than fresh strawberries because they're cooked and are broken down.

(Bottom right)

DS has already had purees with strawberries in them.
