CERELAC : NATURAL AS A MOTHER'S LOVE

MANILA, Philippines – A mother’s love knows no boundaries and this is

evident in every single thing she does for her child. When it comes to

her baby’s health, she won’t settle for anything less than the best.

When babies turn six months old, moms are faced with the challenge of

introducing solid food to their little ones. This is necessary to

support the additional nutritional requirements of older infants as

they grow, such as iron which helps keep babies active and full of

vitality.

With all the solid food products for babies available in the market,

it comes as no surprise that mothers become extra discerning in

choosing a natural choice to complement their baby’s nutrition. What

goes inside a baby’s body can affect his life, so understanding the

baby food’s contents and knowing how it is made is an absolute must.

For 150 years, the makers of CERELAC products are committed to helping

mothers shape the best lives for their babies, going as far as

proactively informing them on the newest processes in manufacturing

baby foods. They make sure that the produce used in making CERELAC is

of the highest possible quality. With the understanding that solid

food for babies have to be treated more

delicately as babies are more vulnerable than adults, the makers of

CERELAC take great care in storing their ingredients before carefully

selecting which ones to use.

CERELAC uses the best ingredients and follows a strict production

process to ensure the quality of the product and also to prolong its

shelf life, eliminating the need for added preservatives while

maintaining its natural goodness and nutrients. The process involves

dry cleaning and pasteurization of its ingredients to remove all water

content and microorganisms. This ensures that the freshness of the

product is retained for long periods of time. It also safeguards the

baby food from any harmful bacteria that may come into contact.

CERELAC comes in seven exciting flavors to help make meal times more

nutritious and extra special for your bundles of joy. With no

preservatives and packed with all the vitamins and minerals your baby

needs to grow big and strong, moms can be sure that with every

spoonful of CERELAC comes pure goodness, pure nourishment, and pure

love.
