They can be quite messy to eat as they are quite crumbly when bitten but this is easily wiped off his high chair and it does wash straight out of clothes and not leave a mark or stain.
Heinz Mini Cheese Crackers are designed for babies and young children.
THE PACKAGING
The packet is purple in colour and has a yellow picture using a piece of cheese and one of the crackers to make a face. Below this picture is the name of the product. The back of the packet gives details of other snacks in the same range. The sides of the packet have the ingredients and nutritional info on them.
Inside the large packet is 4 smaller packets containing the biscuits each being 25g and containing about 15 crackers.
NUTRITIONAL INFO - Per 25g bag

The crackers only contain natural occurring sugars.
THE CRACKERS
The crackers have the appearance and the smell of mini cheddars. They are about 3.5cm wide and half a centimetre thick which make them an ideal size for independent feeding.
The crackers are slightly crunchy when bitten but they do dissolve in the child's mouth which reduces the choking risk.
MY OPINION
These crackers are loved by my 10 month old son. I do let him have them despite Heinz not recommending them for children under 1 year as he is quite forward with his food and eating. He has no problem which holding the crackers himself and feeding himself them.
They can be quite messy to eat as they are quite crumbly when bitten but this is easily wiped off his high chair and it does wash straight out of clothes and not leave a mark or stain.
The small packets are great and very handy for popping in your bag for when out and about and they are much healthier then giving sweets and chocolate.
The crackers have a very pleasant smell when the packet is opened which is cheesy and just like the normal mini cheddars. I have not tried these myself as I do not like mini cheddars and I do have a cheese phobia so could not bring myself to taste one but my son just cannot get enough of them so I am recommending these on his say so!
The packet cost me £1.84 from my local supermarket which I think would be the average price in all supermarkets which is quite reasonable for them as the packets do last in my house.
INFO
The crackers have been made by Heinz, they contain no artificial flavours or colours, no preservatives, no added sugar and no GM ingredients.
They are suitable for vegetarians but they do contain gluten, wheat, milk, soya, and they may contain traces of nuts and eggs.

Advantages: great alternative to sweet snacks Disadvantages: crumbly and quite messy
. He did not have any problems in eating them but I did make sure that I was always around him when he was eating them.
The crackers do make quite a mess but this is easily cleaned up.
The smell of the crackers put me right off them but my little man is not bothered by this at all. He quite happily tucks into them and they do dissolve in his mouth so if he bits off a large piece of the cracker then I don't have to worry too much about trying to get it out of his mouth.
I do like the general idea of the crackers as they are great for snacks and they are much better than giving him sweet things all the time and they also help to introduce the taste of vegetable to him swell.
INFO
The crackers are made by Heinz and also come in different flavours which include, minicheesecrackers, 100% fruit bites and 100% apple bites.
