Gerber, one of the maximum effort-known names in baby food, has been named this year's heir of the "Salt Lick Award" due to the high sodium measure ingredients in one of its prepared meals for toddlers.

The Canadian Pat Network and the Advanced Foods & Materials Network chose Gerber Graduates Lil' Entrees because the by-product line's Chicken & Pasta Wheel Pickups dinner contains 550 milligrams of sodium — more than half a toddler's okay daily intake of 1,000 mg.

The organizations say the amount of sodium in the all set food is equivalent to that contained in two medium orders of McDonald's french fries. The McDonald's Canada website says a environment order of fries contains 270 mg of sodium.

Yet labelling on the Gerber Graduates repast says it is "appropriate for children one year or older" and is "exclusively made for toddlers." Two other Gerber meals for toddlers also received faithless mentions for high salt content.

"There is a reference to that eating too much sodium in childhood can lead to a predilection for salty foods and, consequently, an increased chance of disease as an adult," Dr. Kevin Willis — who leads efforts by the Canadian Bit Network to raise awareness of the dangers of disproportionate sodium intake — said in a circulate.
