THE PIPIN PEAR RANGE

Question:

Is the Pipin Pear range organic?

Answer:

Yes, the Pipin Pear range is organic. We use 100% organic ingredients including fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry. The Fishy Dishy is gently cooked using hake which is sustainably sourced and 100% organic fruit and vegetables.

Question:

What makes Pipin Pear different to other baby foods on the market?

Answer:

We strongly believe that our children should start off life with the best possible nutrition. We’d all love to have the time to batch cook endless mountains of food for our little ones, but in the real world, this just isn’t feasible for busy families and working parents. We believe baby food shouldn’t have a shelf life older than your child and it should be a meal that is tasty enough for you to enjoy yourself! By gently cooking our high quality, organic ingredients, we retain the most flavour, texture and nutrition for your little one‘s mealtime. Pipin Pear contains absolutely no added sugar, salt, colours, additives or preservatives and we use 100% certified organic fruit & vegetables and organic meat and poultry. Our delicious pots can also be frozen at home just like your own batch cooking to ensure there is always a wholesome and natural meal on hand for your little one. 

Question:

Is Pipin Pear suitable for freezing?

Answer:

Yes. If you want to freeze Pipin Pear we recommend you freeze it as soon as you get it home on the day of purchase. Use within one month, do not refreeze once thawed. Defrost thoroughly and use within 24 hours. This way you can always have wholesome, nutritious and natural meal ready to go!

You can also heat directly from frozen! Click here for frozen heating instructions. 

Question:

How do I store Pipin Pear?

Answer:

Keep refrigerated below 5°C and once opened it will keep for 24 hours in the fridge, if you haven’t heated it. Pipin Pear is a chilled baby food and due to the gentle cooking process and top quality ingredients used, it has a shelf life of 28 days, unlike that of traditional baby food which can have a shelf life of up to two years.

Question:

How do I heat Pipin Pear?
