Testing the Aldi Mamia Organic Apples, Carrots & Parsnips Fruit Pouch
One of the top features our testers pointed out with these pouches is the super useful packaging - one mum told us that "the squeezy pouch and small funnel mean that you can easily transfer the contents to a spoon without any mess". They're easy to store because of screw cap, so there's no need to fret about spillages. Our tester's baby loved it! They loved the good value for money, although their baby didn't need quite so much, so there was a little bit of wastage. The pouches were easy to transport/compact down, due to the flexible packaging.
Another tester loved that the pouches were so easy to transport when out and about. They easily mix with yoghurt, providing flavour for older babies. The organic contents took their worries away compared to non-organic - they claimed it gets fruit and veg into babies with no effort required as they love the taste! They’re nicely textured and cost effective, as well as convenient.
"The Mamia Organic Apples, Carrots & Parsnips Fruit Pouch is great for food on the go for my baby," said one tester. They found it practical and easy to carry around as a go to back up if needed, or even as a full meal. With it being sweet and savoury ingredients it feels like it can be a meal for any time of day. My baby really enjoyed this meal.
The pouch looks very appealing with its colourful design and fun cartoon food characters. "The ingredients were very clear on the back and this is helpful for a mum of a baby with allergies," said another tester, also highlighting that "the age suitability is also very clear on the front of the pouch". The pouch is easy to open and the top can be put back on for storage in the fridge for later, which this mum loved.
Another tester agreed that these pouches are perfect for on the go/travel. "My baby enjoyed the purée, I’ve since purchased the other flavours which she likes just as much" said one happy tester. They found that the pouches are easy to feed from, since you can squeeze directly onto a spoon or into a bowl. They found it reassuring knowing their child is having organic fruits with no added sugar. They loved that the pouches are great value for money compared to similar products on the market.
"I was impressed with the value for money, it’s very affordable," said another member of our testing team. "The pouch was easy to squeeze and the fact that you can screw the lid back on is handy because my baby couldn’t finish it in one sitting so I was able to save the rest of it in the fridge for the next day." This also meant that it was easy for them to seal back up and put back in their bag with no leaking. So handy!
