What this means for your family
Baby food in the UK is far less regulated than school food — early-years nutrition guidelines are voluntary. Having a professor of paediatrics review our approach means V&Me holds itself to a clinical standard the law doesn't require: menus designed around what growing bodies and brains actually need, from first purées through to toddler meals and school lunches.
