Halal baby food includes ingredients which bring essential nutrients for the growth and development of children, while being compliant with Islamic Law. These include all sorts of plant-based ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, legumes and rice. Fruit and veggies are packed with vitamins and minerals. Legumes are excellent sources of plant protein. Rice and potatoes give youngsters energy.
Many animal-based ingredients are Halal as well. These include veal, lamb, beef and chicken, provided that the animals have been slaughtered using the prescribed traditional method. These ingredients give children not only protein, but also sufficient amounts of vitamins like B12 and minerals such as iron. Fish is also Halal. It is valuable because it is a natural source of Omega 3 fatty acids which are important for the development and growth of heart and brain. Eggs and dairy are permissible too.
One ingredient which is haram (forbidden) is pork. There is no pork meat in Halal baby food. Similarly, products which contain gelatin derived from pigs are not Halal. In general, if gelatin is present in halal food, it must be derived from beef or another allowed animal which has been slaughtered following the established method.
Flavorings and additives which have traces of alcohol or are made from animals which are haram cannot be used for making Halal baby food. Generally, such ingredients are not recommended for babies, regardless of their nature and origin. That is why parents should trust brands with strong reputation and check the ingredients carefully when buying dishes for their children.
