For Aisha launch first UK Halal Baby Food in pouches

For Aisha, a new Halal baby food company, has just launched their new range of baby food pouches, specially formulated for babies aged from 7 months onwards. The nutrient dense protein dishes, made with healthy wholesome ingredients, are an good source of iron and essential fatty acids that are vital for little ones. Research has shown that 69% of parents want to expand their babies’ tastes palates (Mintel research) and buy meals for their little ones they could not easily cook for themselves.

Made from the finest certified Halal meat, the pouches are available in six flavours from around the world – Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Couscous and Apricots, Shepherd’s Pie with Lamb and Aromatic Spices, Authentic Indian Chicken and Sweet Potato Curry, Mild Curried Chicken Dhal made with Lentils, Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Mango and a Vegetarian Tomato and Chunky Chickpea Curry.

“The wide range of herbs, spices and ingredients will enhance the taste, texture and goodness of the food. This delicious combination of new foods from different cultures are guaranteed to incentivise little ones to develop healthy eating habits and expand their taste buds.” says Sajida Manzoor, Registered dietitian Bsc, Msc Advanced Nutrition.

“Muslim parents in particular find it difficult to find suitable halal meat food products that will not compromise their religious beliefs. They become reliant on vegetarian or dessert options and this lack of choice can often lead to infants to miss out on essential vitamin D and iron found in meat based products” adds Sajida.

The brand new pouches contain no preservatives, artificial flavours or colours and have been tested for quality and nutrition by a registered dietitian. Priced at £1.45, For Aisha Baby Food Pouches are now in ASDA, Ocado, Boots online and Whole Foods Market, amongst others. For further information visit www.foraisha.com
