The manufacturer states this product is intended for children from 3 years old. At this age most children can manage a soft fruit bar, but chewing ability varies. Break or cut the bar into small, manageable pieces rather than handing the whole bar to a young child. Always supervise eating and have water available to help with swallowing the dense fruit texture. For children under 3, the texture and size may pose a choking risk; consult your pediatrician before offering similar products. This snack is designed to complement a varied diet, not replace meals or fresh fruit. If your child has difficulty with chewy textures, you can soften a piece slightly by letting it sit in a spoon with a few drops of water for a minute.
