Earth's Best For Infants



From the day they are born, infants rapidly change and grow. And so do their food preferences. That's why Earth's Best offers a wide variety of formulas, cereals, jarred food blends and juices to ensure your baby gets the wholesome and pure nutrition they need.

Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice Cereal

Organic... Pure... Delicious. Give your baby a healthy start on life with Earth’s Best. Earth’s Best is the only full line of organic baby food and it is the first brand of baby food to be produced with NO Genetically Engineered Ingredients. Earth’s Best infant cereals and jarred foods are available in over 40 varieties, along with infant juices and teething biscuits to satisfy the taste and texture of babies four months and up.

Why Organic?

Choosing organic is choosing to live a healthier life. Organic foods are produced without the use of potentially harmful chemicals and synthetic pesticides or growth hormones. This is even more important when we consider infants. For four to six months following birth, infants receive most of their nutrition from breast milk or infant formula. It is so important that these formulas contain the safest ingredients.

If ingested, potential toxic chemicals or heavy metals can lead to compromised immune system development. Likewise, young infants consume disproportionately high levels of fruits and vegetables when compared to adults. This increases their risk of exposure to potential contaminants found among non-organic products. Finally, Earth's Best products do not contain genetically engineered ingredients (GEIs), made by inserting genes from one plant into a strain of another to produce more crops or control pests.

Why organic? It is better for you, your child and the environment they will grow up in.

The Earth's Best Difference:
  • Organic ingredients grown without harmful pesticides
  • No Genetically Engineered Ingredients (GEIs)
  • Most items made only from whole grains
  • No added salt, modified starches or refined sugars
  • No artificial flavors, colors or preservatives
  • Kosher (excluding meat varieties)
  • Rigorous product testing

As your little one grows, you'll have to make a lot of choices. With Earth's Best choosing the right food is easy. They create high quality, organic products grown by the some of the best farmers, filled with the best ingredients and tested for the highest level of purity and freshness. Earth's Best organic products help protect the earth so future generations have healthy food to eat and a healthy world to grow up in. That makes a big difference for your little one.

NOT WHOLE GRAIN - changed recipe!
1 Star
NOT WHOLE GRAIN - changed recipe!
The case that the 12 cartons came in said "Whole Grain Baby Cereal" on it, but actual cartons say "Rice Cereal," not "Whole Grain Rice Cereal" as pictured. This is not a packaging change; this is an ingredients change.While the product description and carton pictured show "Whole Grain Rice Cereal," the cartons delivered were NOT the whole grain version. "WHOLE GRAIN ORGANIC RICE FLOUR" is supposed to be the #1 ingredient. It's not even listed.I went to Earth's Best website and they no longer have the whole grain version on their product list. Looks like they don't make it anymore.The product description and photos need to be updated to show this change.
