Analysis for Acrylamide in Holle Baby Food
Range
During the structure of our quality controls, the Holle
Demeter Baby grain porridge range and the Holle Organic
Infant Formula 1 and Holle Organic Follow-On Formula 2 were
analysed for acrylamide. In all products, acrylamide could
not be found. The results lie below the limit of evidence
for 10 micrograms/kg.
The analysis was conducted by a recognised institute in
Berlin, which had developed a valid method of analysing
for proof of acrylamide.
The unique Demeter Quality
Whenever possible, our baby foods are made of Demeter raw
goods.
Demeter is the name of the Greek fertility goddess and
the protected trademark for products which have been grown
following organic, bio-dynamic agricultural methods.
Only recognised products which meet the strict and continuing
quality criteria of certified, organic and bio-dynamic farming,
can carry the 'Demeter' label. Beyond the criteria of organic
farming, the Demeter farmer makes allowances for the addition
of specific types of unique plants and animals.
The Demeter farmer views a farm as a live organism of natural
cycles. Food for the animals originates predominantly from
own paddocks and fields. A part of every Demeter farm is
owning and caring for the livestock.
Their dung is composted and is mixed with special organic
ingredients such as medicinal herbs. This is then sprayed
onto the fields. Ingredients develop energy consisting of
strength and vitality, similar to that of homeopathic medicine.
This is how the ground is supported and looked after. The
growth of seeds is a result of the biological rhythm of
the particular plant.
Independent research findings show that the ground lives
and becomes more fertile from year to year. This is unique
to organic farming.
The ripe fruit contains a maximum amount of natural essential
energy and vitality. This is how naturally grown food provides
growth and strength, which is especially important for infants
and small children.
