Lil' Crunchies: questions answered
From Gerber's published specs, last checked 2026-11-11.
Does the maker test the Gerber Lil' Crunchies for heavy metals?
We didn't find a testing statement from the maker. The FDA has final guidance on lead in processed foods for babies and young children and tips on food choices for babies. We don't rate brands on heavy metals; where a maker publishes its own testing, we link it.
How should I serve the Gerber Lil' Crunchies?
The maker says: Maker (Mild Cheddar page): should only be fed to seated, supervised children who are accustomed to chewing solid foods; described as quick dissolving; use within five days after removing seal. See the AAP's Starting Solid Foods page. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
