About Plum Organics
Plum organics specializes in producing organic and healthy baby food and kids meals. Our baby foods are minimally processed and retain more of their natural nutrients, vibrant colors, rich flavors, and tasty textures.
Offering the consumer a 'brand' of companies that embrace triple bottom line management is essential in turning our economy towards a gentler, more sustainable path. We became a B Corporation to support this movement and to make it easier for parents to bring sustainability home.
We believe that introducing babies to real food with interesting, flavorful tastes and textures creates a foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating. Our foods are cooked just the right amount compared to conventional jarred baby foods, which are exposed to high temperatures and lengthy cooking times.
The Change We Seek™
As a brand leader and eco-advocate, we are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint and set the bar higher for sustainable efforts across the board. In addition to being a 100% organic line, we are proud to ensure that Plum Organics products are pure and clean from the inside out!
• We are dedicated to offering the finest, best tasting and healthiest organic foods for babies, toddlers and children. We believe that by exposing infants and children to authentic, minimally processed foods one can positively influence their taste buds and appreciation of healthy foods for life. From the beginning, our baby line serving cups have been free from BPA's, a hormone-disrupting chemical considered to be harmful to human health and the environment.
• We want options for children that reflect their parents’ values and commitment to leading a sustainable, environmentally responsible life. For the NEW Kids line, we developed a biodegradable/ compostable inner tray (first of its kind!) to replace the usual CPET which is made from annually renewable resources and is both oven-safe and microwaveable. We are also proud to be 100% carbon neutral in our packaging: the outer carton is a unique paperboard that is not only 100% recycled, but made using clean energy—and anything left over is given back in carbon credits.
