What is the texture of the bar, and are there any choking hazards for young children?

The texture of this raw fruit bar is soft and slightly chewy, achieved through the use of fruit pectin, fibre, and gum arabic (acacia gum). These ingredients act as natural binders to hold the pear and apple purée together without requiring artificial thickeners. The dried apple adds a denser consistency compared to a puree-only snack, creating a substantial treat that is easy to hold.

However, safety is a key consideration for young children. The product may contain small fruit seeds or seed fragments from the natural processing of the fruit. Therefore, it is essential to supervise young children while they eat this bar to ensure they chew thoroughly. As with any snack, it is sensible to offer it according to the child's age and chewing ability. If a child has difficulty chewing soft solids or has specific sensitivities, please check the full label and consult a specialist if you have concerns about their dietary needs.
