I can't even open the link. I have bought a few pouches for convenience, but have never gotten even close to finishing one. This just reinforces my wish to keep making our own food. </p> <p>@photojane: @scg00387: @deerylou: We've been using the Little Green Pouches too and I like the convenience with our homemade purees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212414 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:25:32 +0000 HLK208 1212414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ewwwww </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212413 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:24:22 +0000 Corduroy 1212413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will be interesting to see where this story goes. I don't see how bugs could live in a sealed pouch. If there were maggots or larvae in the product before it was filled and sealed they would have been cooked. Especially in a butternut squash puree, since it's probably a low acid food which requires a serious cook. If the pouch was damaged, larvae could have gotten in but the same in true for any packaged product. </p> <p>If a baby food manufacturer was going to be really gross and intentionally use raw material with maggots they would just re-puree it rather than "hide" whole maggots in the pouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212315 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:36:11 +0000 immabeetoo 1212315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I opened this thinking it was a progressive company trying out insect protein on purpose... WTF was I thinking. </p> <p>GROSS!!</p> <p>@deerylou: I use little green pouches and LOVE them. LO gets one at dinner every night even though he eats table food, he just really likes them and they're easy to make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212301 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:25:27 +0000 sunny 1212301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212291 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:21:18 +0000 MarieJ 1212291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Disgusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212290 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:20:44 +0000 deerylou 1212290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G-R-O-S-S!</p> <p>I believe you can buy reuseable pouches that you can fill with homemade baby food. That way you can control exactly what's in there, and for how long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212286 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:16:35 +0000 MamaMoose 1212286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: just posted the same thing!!

But something keeps me from getting them..lol. And now this, I just cant. I rather keep packing a little snack for when we go out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212279 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:12:48 +0000 photojane 1212279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: They're so easy on the go! I can just squirt it right in her mouth and skip the bib/spoon stuff. Now, though, I'm rethinking them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212275 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:11:27 +0000 pinkb 1212275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt open the link, yuck. I dont know what it is about the pouches, but I just cant. Something about them I just dont like, I have not given any to LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-pouches-with-insect-larvae#post-1212274 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:11:18 +0000 ALV91711 1212274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!!

I think I might puke.</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=709510312394140" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=709510312394140</a> </p>
