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 has slightly more 'exotic' recipes and ingredients.

HEINZ Little Kids Chicken & Pumpkin Risotto is 40% vegetables (pumpkin, sweet potato and peas), 15% rice and 10% chicken, and the rest of the product has been made up with water and thickeners (ground rice and maize thickener) with added soy sauce, herb and spice.

It ticks all the boxes as a healthy meal for toddlers, and contains a reasonable proportion of vegetable and meat ingredients - and it's convenient to have as a standby in the cupboard. Its sodium content is low, but if you're worried about salt in your toddlers diet, you could make a similar risotto yourself using water instead of stock and just leave out the soy sauce.
