Re: Carb content in baby food?
As far as I know, there's not chart for carb content. Beechnut is zero carbs -- it's either on their website or on the jar. Gerber Stage 2 is roughly 7% carb -- it contains cornstarch.

I believe Gerber also has onion powder in it which can cause Heinz body anemia. Most of us go for the Beechnut baby foods.

Hope --
The Gerber Stage 2 is a protein, broth, and cornstarch (unless they changed the ingredients). Bottom line is to read the label.

Re: Carb content in baby food?
Thanks for your input!
Do you know if any of the Stage 1 Beechnut meat varieties contain onion or garlic or onion or garlic powder? If the label says "beef broth" for example, does anyone know if onions/garlic are in the broth?
Same thing for Gerber: if the label lists "chicken broth" or "chicken gravy", does anyone know if onions/garlic are in that?
Thank you!

Re: Carb content in baby food?
I happen to have a few cans of those right now as back up yummy food if one of the civies is sick :smile: There meat in broth varities do not contain any garlic or onions. The only ingredients are the meat and the meat broth. I haven't tried the ham/ham broth one. Ham tends to be salty and I worry about giving unneeded salt to a cat.

No onions or gravy but they do contain cornstarch to make the gravy. Starches of any kind can result in high bgs in a diabetic cat.

All of the meat formulas are meat with gravy. I don't see any that is in broth.
