What we say

HEINZ Little Kids range is for toddlers from 1-3 years old. Compared to the baby food ranges, these products have a chunkier texture, which is important for helping along the transition to 'table' (family) foods. The Little Kids range also includes some slightly more 'exotic' recipes and ingredients.

HEINZ Little Kids Macaroni & Meatballs, like the Pasta Chicken & Vegetables and Spaghetti Bolognaise, ticks all the boxes as a healthy meal for toddlers, and contains a decent proportion of 'real' food –– 67% vegetables, 18% macaroni and 14% 'meatballs' (which include beef, onion, flour etc). The remainder is made up of mostly thickeners and herbs, and it's low in sodium. This is a good meal to have as a standby in the cupboard when you don't have the time or energy to cook up a storm.
