| Once Upon a Farm | Once Upon a Farm Kiddo Meals are processed using High-Pressure Processing, which uses pressure instead of heat to kill off any potentially harmful ingredients. This process also allows for more nutrient-dense food. Further, the brands that are currently on the shelves usually contain a large percentage of water, fillers, sugars, and preservatives,which take away from the natural state of the food. This in turn takes away from optimal nutrition for babies, since optimal absorption of nutrients occurs when food is in its most natural state. | $52M | Series D | Mar 09, 2022 |  |
