A new study by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found a significant amount of pre-packaged meals and snack foods for toddlers in the US contain high amounts of sodium or sugar.
The March 2015 Pediatrics study, “Sodium and Sugar in Complementary Infant and Toddler Foods Sold in the United States,” (published online Feb. 2), examined the sodium and sugar content of 1,074 dinners, snacks, fruits, vegetables, dry cereals, juices and desserts for toddlers, according to AAP.
