Heinz do a wide range of foods in various age ranges.
The first age range up to 6 months, come in smaller size cans with a ringpull, so can be used on the move.
They look awful, smell awful and taste awful, apart from the stewed fruits and the apricot custard is lovely. They have a funny texture too. I gave tinned food to my son sometimes, and he loved the fishermans pie (awful smell of fish).
As they get older, the food gets lumpier and more types of foods are added. Beans, pasta, bolognese and slightly stronger tasting sauces.
By the third stage, you get lovely looking sauces with big chunks and some fancy foreign tastes are introduced. These are still a bit bland, but babies love them.
When my 3 year old son was ill recently, my doctor told me to give him some bland soup. I watered down a heinz baby meal of farmhouse vegetables and it gave a delicious soup for his tummy to manage. You can do the same with the fruits if your child has been ill and needs to work up to normal foods. He has actually asked for this "soup since".
They claim to be fortified with iron and vitamins and low in sugars. I am not too sure about the sugar part. The sauces seem to contain some sugars.
I think these foods are great for convenience, but you can't beat home made gloop for little ones. I do think their fruity ones are great for weaning though.

Sorry but this hasn't got anything to do with baby food, I'm the girl who wrote about uboot.com and I haven't got my camera aswell but I did get a package from them with my registration card in, have you had 1 of those?
Advantages: a large variety of flavours, convenient packaging Disadvantages: not very good value for money, not always the best nutritional food for baby
