Toddler snacks are an aisle, not a food group
Puffs, melts, yogurt raisins, ‘veggie’ straws. Convenient. Often a starch, a flavour, and a health halo. Real food still fits in a bag.

They dissolve so they are ‘safe’. They also teach a flavour of salt and sweetness that fruit does not have. A piece of banana, cheese, a toast strip: slower, and they still eat.
Yogurt in a pouch
Often a dairy dessert with concentrate. Plain yogurt and a spoon still exist. Scan the pouch. If sugar is in the first three, it is a treat.
How to shop it
One emergency puff for the bag is fine. A cupboard of them is a vending machine. The baby aisle is not a nutritionist. The disc is.
