Choice reviewed 78 packaged meals and snacks marketed specifically for toddlers and found that:
- more than half (58%) contain sugars that are harmful to health
- many are highly processed
- what's in the pack often bears little resemblance to what's promised on the label.
In addition, almost half (45%) could be classified as high in sugar, with at least 15g of sugar per 100g.
And the worst offenders are more than 60% sugar.
