Quality, purity, freshness, safe ly, convenience, cost are all fac tors that need to be taken into con sideration when you choose between home-prepared or commercially-prepared baby foods. The choice is not always clear-cut. For example, home pre pared is not necessarily cheaper, nor is commercially prepared less fresh. Consumer confidence in the baby food industry has eroded over the past several years, fol lowing reports of dilution of apple juice, contamination by non-food products and the growing con cerns over pesticides. The emergence of several baby food companies producing a limited selection of “pesticide-free” pro ducts - at double the cost - adds to parental confusion over the safety of prepared products from the traditional baby food compa nies.

The mothers choose the commer cial food primarily for conveni ence. The study revealed that, although vegetables were cheaper to prepare than to buy, meats and meat with vegetable dishes were actually more expensive to pre pare. If the preparer’s time, equip ment, and fuel expenses are included in calculating cost, about one-half of all homemade pro ducts would be more expensive than the commercial ones. Better quality and lower costs were reasons cited for home pre paration of baby food. However, many parents tended to add salt and other condiments to home prepared foods.

In addition, home prepa ration was not always done fol lowing appropriate guidelines and techniques. This suggests that, unless careful procedures are fol lowed, home-prepared baby foods may be subject to contamination by bacteria. Before you make your decision about whether to make your own baby food or buy commercially prepared baby food, you need to consider not only the amount of time you have to prepare your own baby food, but also how much you know about food safety! Perhaps it may not only be cheaper to buy commercially prepared baby food - it may also be a safer source of food for your baby. MDftVA MILK PRODUCERS ASSOC.
