The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Baby Safe Feeder Solid foods are no longer a choking hazard. The patented BABY SAFE FEEDER? allows you to feed your infant fresh foods of your choice. It is so easy with our drop-in bag system. Drop the mesh bag into the retainer ring, place food in the mesh bag and screw tight. It's that simple! At about 4 or 5 months of age when your baby starts drooling and chewing on fingers and toys, they need some relief from sore gums. At this time you are not trying to feed your baby solid food. Just fill the mesh bag with a cold crisp carrot, ice, frozen grapes, frozen chunks of melon, or any cold fruit and it can help relieve their teething pain. Many times the cold or frozen fruit will feel so good to them that you won't have to give them pain-relieving drugs. As baby cuts teeth, the BABY SAFE FEEDER? becomes a necessary baby feeding product. Food must be chewed and then swallowed. Babies with front teeth tend to bite and swallow but do not chew their food thoroughly. This is a dangerous time for your little one. Without molars to chew food properly, choking can happen any time that you are feeding your baby solid food. Our mesh bag feeder helps with the transition from sucking to chewing while reducing the high risk of choking. As your baby gets older you can introduce them to a wider variety of foods. Check with your pediatrician for age appropriate foods for your loved one. The older your baby is and the more teeth he or she has, the more foods you can put into the mesh feeder (see food chart link on Q&A page). Your baby will empty it and hold it out to you for more. The best way to describe how the BABY SAFE FEEDER? works is if you put a wedge of apple into the mesh bag your baby will chew on it and make their own natural applesauce but the peel and seeds will remain in the bag preventing your little one from choking. Never leave a child unattended when eating or drinking. It is not a pacifier or a toy. When your baby is finished, take the baby feeder away. Remove the mesh bag, turn inside out and rinse off food particles. Wash in hot soapy water or put in the dishwasher top rack (utensil basket). Bananas are one of the more difficult foods to clean out of the mesh bag, but YUM...babies sure do love them. (A white vinegar soak or baking soda paste helps with cleaning the mesh bag.) Since discoloring does occur with certain foods know that as long as you properly clean the bag it is sanitary. You can either use a discolored bag for certain foods or be sure to purchase extra replacement bags so you'll always have a clean safe bag to use. Always check bag before each use. At the first sign of wear discard the bag and use a new replacement bag. |
