But there are many kinds of rice noodles in the market, and all kinds of brands have them. How to choose them? What kind of formula rice flour is more nutritious and healthy? You can refer to the following aspects when selecting:
1, see the nutrients, whether the nutrients indicated in the nutrient composition table are complete and whether the content is reasonable. Generally, calories, basic nutrients such as protein, fat and carbohydrate, vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin D, some B vitamins, trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and phosphorus, and other added nutrients should be indicated in the nutrient list.
2. Try to choose fortified iron. The iron content in breast milk and cow's milk is low. The iron in the baby's body has been basically exhausted in 6 months. If the complementary food containing more iron is not supplemented in time, iron deficiency anemia will easily occur. China's standard stipulates that the iron content of baby rice flour should be 0.25-0.5mg/ 100kj, and products beyond this range should be carefully purchased and fed.
3, choose sugar-free, some manufacturers will add some sweetening ingredients to rice noodles, such as white sugar, glucose syrup, maltose, etc., which will increase children's dependence on sweetness, interfere with children's taste prematurely, and cause children to be picky eaters and partial eclipse. What needs to be distinguished is that some rice flour ingredients will be added with fructooligosaccharides, which is a prebiotic and regulates the intestinal flora, so it is not necessary to look at the color change of sugar.
4. Try to choose rice noodles without milk, because it contains milk, which is equivalent to exposing children to a new milk powder, which may lead to allergies and other discomfort. If you want to improve the quality of rice noodles, you can use the milk powder you are drinking now to make rice noodles.
5, try to choose the original rice noodles, some rice noodles are added with yam, lotus seeds, poria cocos, etc. These foods that the baby has not touched may cause allergies and other discomfort. Of course, these rice noodles can also be eaten under the condition of ensuring that your baby has no adverse reactions. In order to reduce the risk, it is suggested that the original rice flour should be selected for the egg quantity.
6, quality, the color of rice noodles, there is no difference, the texture is caked, moldy and qualitative change.
7. Look at the product packaging instructions. For example, according to the national standard, baby rice flour should clearly state that "the ideal food for babies is breast milk, and this product can be eaten when breast milk is insufficient or there is no breast milk;" When babies over 6 months eat this product, they should cooperate with the addition of supplementary food. " The formula rice flour in weaning period should also indicate "formula food in weaning period" or "supplementary food in weaning period".
8. Look at the label and see if the label on the package is complete. According to national standards, the factory name, site, production date, shelf life, implementation standard, trademark, net content, ingredient list, nutrient composition list and eating method must be marked on the outer packaging. If any of the above items are missing, it is best not to buy them.
9, inner packaging, it is best to choose an independent small package, convenient for the baby to eat, not easy to get wet and deteriorate.
10, depending on the brand, choose a well-known big brand enterprise with large scale and high product quality and service quality. These enterprises have strong technical force, scientific and reasonable product formula design, strict quality control of raw materials, advanced production equipment, high enterprise management level and guaranteed product quality. The following are the common brands of infant rice noodles, including domestic and foreign brands. Personally, if you like foreign products, buy foreign ones.
The above 9 points are for mothers to refer to when choosing rice noodles for their babies. However, the actual feeding should also consider the baby's acceptance and comprehensively choose to buy suitable baby rice noodles.
