Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! We have a strict testing policy and perform third-party lab tests to ensure the safety and quality of our products. The ingredients and finished product of each and every batch are tested for microorganisms like yeast, mold, Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella to ensure they are clear and safe for consumption before they are ever sold to stores or customers!

Yes! As a brand, Fresh Bellies has been committed from day one to offering the best possible products to children and takes its responsibility to feed adventurous eaters seriously. We test our products for several hundred contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticide residues, plasticizers and more, and have received the Clean Label Purity Award from the Clean Label Project (CLP).

Keep an eye out for additional products being added to the CLP site! As we roll out new products, we'll be testing those as well. Our goal is to add our entire portfolio of products to the Clean Label Project website.

Absolutely not! Our snacks are free of preservatives, fillers, artificial flavors and added sugars. Each one of our snacks is made with 4 whole, non-GMO verified and Kosher certified ingredients or less. We promise all of the goodness and none of the junk!

While we love avocado oil and olive oil, these oils affect the shelf life of our products and turn rancid pretty quickly!

There are different types of sunflower oils. We use high oleic sunflower oil for its stability and because it is considered the most healthy. It is made up primarily of monounsaturated fats (even higher monounsaturated levels than olive oil) and has zero trans fats. This is different from sunflower oils that are not high oleic and contain more polyunsaturated fats (e.g., linoleic). Some research suggests that a diet rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, like oleic, may help reduce high cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease!

Importantly, we never heat or cook the high oleic sunflower oil that we use in our snacks. We apply it topically after the puffs have been cooked, simply as a coat to help adhere the seasoning and/or vegetable powders we use to flavor our products. This is why stability in the oil is extremely important for our products.

Our snacks are non-GMO verified and Kosher certified.

Each Fresh Bellies snack has an expiration date printed on the back of the bag. Please refer to this date to determine the shelf life of your products.

Our products are not allergen free. Our products are processed in a facility that also processes nuts, milk and fish.

Our snacks are intended for children eating a variety of textures and foods. Readiness varies from child to child, so please consult with your pediatrician to determine your child's readiness.

Always feed our tasty snacks while your child is supervised and seated.
