A: Our pouches are shelf stable prior to opening. Once opening, we suggest storing the remaining puree in the refrigerator and using within 24 hours.

A: Happy Family does not add heavy metals to its products, nor can they be extracted from ingredients. Happy Family’s organic, nutrient-dense baby foods contain fruit, vegetable, and grain ingredients, which provide the nutrition that babies need as part of a balanced diet. Trace levels of heavy metals are present in the air, water and soil in which crops are grown. As a result, small amounts cannot be completely avoided in the vegetables, fruits and grains that are the basis of baby foods – whether they are prepared at home or sold as packaged food. This is a complex topic, and we encourage consumers to visit our webpage (https://www.happyfamilyorganics.com/quality-and-safety-of-our-products/) for more information on our quality and safety commitments, as well as FDA’s “Closer to Zero” website (https://www.fda.gov/food/environmental-contaminants-food/closer-zero-reducing-childhood-exposure-contaminants-foods) which aims to develop science-based federal standards to reduce heavy metals in young children’s food. We fully support this process and are committed to working with the agency to tackle this complicated challenge.
