Baby cereal just got an upgrade. Just when you thought your baby’s mealtime couldn’t get any better, Little Spoon dropped their NEW Rice-Free, Organic Oatmeal Baby Cereal! Adding to the baby suite of Babyblends and Organic Rice-Free Puffs, this USDA certified organic oatmeal is made with ancient grain barley + millet, top 9 allergen free and crafted with the ultimate care. Years in the making, Little Spoon’s new Organic Oatmeal Baby Cereal is the perfect first food for your growing little one. 

Crafted for Strong Starts

Made for your little one’s very first bites (as early at 4 months!), each serving combines 14g of whole grains with 13 essential vitamins and minerals, including nutrients to help support brain and bone development and immune function. We went with whole grain oats, barley, and millet instead of rice because these ancient grains are packed with nutrients to build a strong foundation for starting solids: 

• Iron helps to support your baby’s neurological development
• Calcium and Vitamin D help to build strong bones and muscles
• Zinc helps to support growth and boost your little one’s immune system

Your baby’s starting solids journey has never tasted so good! 

The Importance of Rice-Free Baby Cereal

Traditional rice-based baby cereals are known to contain higher levels of arsenic—that’s part of why it was so important to Little Spoon to provide an option that meets the modern parent’s standard.  Little Spoon eliminated rice and is also the first brand to offer publicly available safety standards inspired by the European Union.  

A Baby Cereal You Can Trust

Why does Little Spoon voluntarily provide testing for every batch of their Baby Cereal? Because unfortunately the U.S. does not have any enforced federal regulation for baby food—and Little Spoon doesn’t believe parents should have to wait for the transparency they deserve.  Currently, the FDA has established an action level of 100 parts per billion (ppb) for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereals. This action level is intended to reduce the potential risks to infants’ health and neurodevelopment, but is not an enforced regulation. At Little Spoon, we decided to take matters into our own hands. 

Little Spoon is the first brand in the United States to set strict limits and test finished baby products by a third-party accredited lab for more than 500 toxins and contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides and plasticizers inspired by the standards established by the European Union. No batch of Babyblends or Baby Cereal will be sold if they do not pass these rigorous standards and you can view the publicly available testing standards at littlespoon.com. Stay tuned for Puffs! 

The ONLY Clean Label Project Certified + Purity Award Winner

Little Spoon’s Organic Oatmeal Baby Cereal is the only Clean Label Certified multigrain baby cereal that is free of top 9 allergens and provides 13 essential nutrients + 14g of whole grains per serving.

The Clean Label Project Purity Award measures products for substances that you’d never see on a product label, like heavy metals, plasticizers, pesticides and more. This certification is a tremendous honor, as it recognizes the diligence behind Little Spoon’s commitment to baby food safety and the rigor of the standards these products are tested against. 

Top 9 Allergen Free

Also known as the “Big 9”, Little Spoon’s Organic Oatmeal Baby Cereal is free from: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. It’s important to note that while this cereal is wheat-free, it is not gluten-free, as it’s made with ancient grain barley + millet.
