August 2025 Baby Food Pouch Testing: Once Upon A Farm

August 21, 2025
Thursday

Hello! I just shared the text below (along with the image above) on Facebook. I am also sharing this image on Instagram in a moment, and wanted to post it here so that I can share this single link (with all of the information in one place)  with our 102,000+ Instagram followers (since it’s tricky to share links on Instagram). Hopefully you all will find the links to below helpful too (especially the links to the testing and reporting that we have already done for this brand).

If you are financially in a position to make a contribution ($5.00, $10.00, $25.00 – whatever you can afford) in support of one of the four not-yet-funded Once Upon A Farm Baby Food Pouch Testing Campaigns linked below (only if a contribution would not present any hardship for you) that would be greatly appreciated and your gift in helping to cover the cost of testing and reporting for these baby foods will help a LOT of families. We are hoping to finish raising funds for the first two campaigns in the next day or two so we can get those lab reports published ASAP.

Thank you.
