Why?
Striving to give parents the best options for their little ones, Piccolo has developed its Oaty Bars and Multigrain Puffs with the whole family in mind. The puffs are suitable from 7months+ and the bars are suitable from 1 year plus, so can be enjoyed by children (and adults!) of all ages. Whilst many alternative snacks are typically high in salt and sugar, Piccolo supports families with options that are full of wholesome, nutritious ingredients.
Infant nutritionist and Piccolo co-founder, Alice Fotheringham, says:
“It can be difficult for parents to find snacks that strike the right balance between having nutritional benefits and being convenient. We want to change that – so we make sure each of our snacking lines incorporate fibre-rich ingredients, which is really important to support their digestive systems, appetite and growth.”
Cat Gazzoli, Piccolo founder, added: “As a second time mum, I’ve been reminded of how difficult it can be to find healthy snacks made from organic, nutritious ingredients. I wanted to make our Carrot and Tomato Puffs so parents can make healthier decisions for their little ones when it comes to on-the-go snacking, choosing options which are full of fibre and pack a protein punch.”
