The questions:

Why is Green Monkey better than other commercial baby foods?

Green Monkey™ is the only baby food in the world currently using ONLY organic New Zealand ingredients. New Zealand’s environment is pristine and has perfect growing conditions for growing pure produce and has incredibly high food quality safety standards.

In many commercial baby foods water is the main ingredient and it is bulked up with modified corn starch and maize thickeners. Green Monkey™ is just like your own home cooked meals packed into a really convenient, super portable pouch. We always list our ingredients in total to add up to 100%, solving the guesswork of what the contents are.

Green Monkey™ has more vegetables and fruits in our recipes. Some other baby food’s, for example Banana Custard, the main ingredients are Water, Skim Milk, Sugar, Ground Maize, Maize Thickener (1422) Unsalted Butter and then 1.5% Banana. Whose product do you think is MORE NATURAL?

How is Green Monkey Made?

The Green Monkey™ pouch system pressure cooks the organic ingredients quickly to ensure the fresh tastes and vivid colours are retained and so the essential nutrients are not destroyed. Green Monkey™ does not add processed sugars, salt, thickeners, processing aids or fillers, we simply don’t interfere with what nature had intended.

Our very clever and world class packaging technology enables the Green Monkey™ pouch system to store a fresh and delicious product without additives and preservatives. The tailor made multiple layer pouch is cooked with a gentle pressure cooking process. Such sophisticated processing technology enables us to achieve the highest of standards in organic baby food manufacturing here in New Zealand.

The factory making our baby food product has a comprehensive Risk Management Program (RMP) in place. It also holds a USFDA certificate, has a registered HACCP program and is Asurequality Certified Organic.
