Beech-Nut® Nutrition Company, a baby and toddler food manufacturer, launched seven new food and snack innovations made with ingredients like prebiotics, whole milk yogurt, fruits, and veggies.

"We hear from parents they want more plant-based protein options that align with their food and climate values," said Gerber President and CEO Tarun Malkani. "Gerber Plant-tastic offers stage-based nutrition across milestones starting with organic toddler pouches, snacks and meals."
