Onion and Garlic Powder in Gerber Baby Food Meat?

I noticed that there is Garlic and Onion powder in the Gerber Baby Food Meat Sticks....Is this safe?

No, it is not. It is best to avoid garlic and onions all together. Gerber has little meat cubes that do not have the onion and garlic in them but the meat sticks do.

Now I'm worried, I had given them some a few days ago. I didn't think that Gerber put any spices in baby food. I sure hope I did'nt mess up

As long as you have stopped offering any, they should be okay... just make sure to check all ingredients before hand from here forward.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

those little furry blobs dictate to us all the time!!!!

Once shouldn't hurt them.

where can you buy the gerber meat cubes i live in KY and wal-mart does not have them the pet shope i bought my gliders from has been feeding them the meat sticks and so have i for two days now?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

What diet are you feeding your suggies?

The grocery stores here have Beechnut chicken dices on the baby food aisle....

However, if you are feeding the BML diet, you do not need to add these meat products to the diet, in fact, it can throw the Ca:ph ratios off, becoming unbalanced..... then you defeat the entire purpose of feeding this diet.....

If you don't have your suggies on a proven diet, then check here and choose one and stick to it, for the health of your suggies....

If you are already feeding one of these, then my apologies in advanced!!

hi thanks they were on baby food fruits veggies and meat sticks a no salt trail mix i paid $8.00 for a pound and sugar glider pellets. the pet store gave me a few of the pellets since there order had not come in yet i know they have honey and meal worms in them and one more thing i cant remember and they tole me to give them rep-cal once aweek in a scrambled egg but they dont seem to much like the egg do i need to change their diet i only want what is best for them and will keep them healthy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'd recommend changing their diets to one of the ones which you can find on the diet page. If nothing else, they will make sure that your suggies get the proper amount of vitamins such as Rep-Cal. Also, I'm guessing that the trail mix is rather high in fat. There are several good choices in the diet link. Best of luck!

I can't help with the Gerber meat cubes because I haven't been able to find them in my area at all...

But I just wanted to strongly encourage you to research the various proven diets - BML, Suncoast, Priscilla's, Darcy's, and a few others - and switch your babies onto the one that works best for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />.
