Why Does Baby Food Have Such a Long Shelf Life? | Food Unwrapped

[@cernejr]

The pressure treatment is super interesting - first time I heard about it.

[@LiquidRetro]

The same thing is done with prepackaged guacamole.

[@dougaltolan3017]

Yeah, but they dont say anything about the nutritional value of proteins, which they just squished to pulp.

[@BarrySuridge]

In Australia, we also use it for cold-pressed milk production. 👌👌

[@GH-lq9fg]

Food Unwrapped is likely one of the most enlightening documentaries I seen in ages, there is a bit of a mysticism about how the food industry works and they make it way more clear. As this automation becomes and more core to our daily life, it's good to see how things work before products arrive at the supermarkets.

[@dougaltolan3017]

The programme Inside The Factory visited a canning plant. They opened a 47 year old tin of fish which, according to the laboratory, was good to eat.

[@janp7660]

I love this channel!

[@jessicablackmore8447]

So the first one is ultra processed. Much more than 20% of nutrients are lost. Adding vitamins back in means they're synthetic, and not as bio available as natural vitamins from the food itself.

[@vogelvogeltje]

Lol I love when people say “it’s perfect FOR BABY” ….like, not for A baby, but FOR baby.

[@ThomasAllen90]

But isn't pressure = to temp? maybe just some marketing ploy to have 'cold pressed' but it indeed has been heated, just not using heat.

[@kingjames4886]

idk why anyone would be worried about this... it's the same process as canning.

[@sarahekal2051]

anyone know the name of the second factory?

[@DunnickFayuro]

Why only 90 days? I mean, if the microorganisms are killed by pressure, it should last longer than that :/

[@devdou5546]

Or just make fresh at home!

This, cheaper too

[@tvted6160]

At the beginning the mums say “sugars” and “chemicals”! Any you’re giving it to your baby???? Do they hear themselves??

[@veilbreak5867]

TV Ted...almost everyone I talk to has taken a covid vaccine. People are a bit thick these days, they like to put chemicals in their body, as long as the tv endorses it, that's good enough. They probably think food from the earth is bad until it's been treated

[@kiank1221]

Our bodies are chemical factories, just because something has chemicals in it doesn't mean it's bad for you and there is no reason for you to judge them. For example: Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a chemical that exists in many foods so therefore I could say that my food has chemicals in it but it could actually be beneficial for it to be present. A potent example of beneficial chemical additive is the making of Iodized salt which essentially cured people of Goiter caused by severe Iodine deficiency.

[@tvted6160]

@@kiank1221 each to their own. I wouldn’t eat iodized salt or ascorbic acid either. Only time will tell if “chemicals” are good for you.

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

So theyre pressure canning like you would with jam or any canned preserves that grandmothers and mothers make to preserve their harvest like what vacuum sealing with food bags, hot water sealing traditonally creating a vacuum to seal the lid... i mean i get that the tech is all flashy but these arent new concepts.

[@BaronSamedi1959]

No no no. The making of jam is all about heat-treatment (sterilization or pasteurization) and lots of sugar. The vacuum is only to seal the jar or can so no additional bacteria can get in. There is never any overpressure in a jam jar. Rather the other way around: the lower pressure sucks the lid on. So the hyperbaric method is entirely new.

Why use a beard protector as a necklace? Wheres the GMP?! The first factory at least covered his lower beard but not the mustache...

[@hannahmore9118]

I refused to feed my baby 'food' that was older than he was! None of my children were ever fed 'baby food'. I fed them human food made fresh and ground up into mush.

[@zack9912000]

this, we had a baby food maker and made fresh everyday

[@gabbiebarnard7580]

We steamed and puréed. We tried baby food when we were out and about or caught short. They wouldn't eat it and preferred to go hungry than eat this mush in the video. I now have a pair of giant teenagers roaming around, who still like freshly cooked food over frozen, canned or jarred food.

DR.SCOTT MCQUATE IS THE TRUTH!! BTW:THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.(*_*)

[@shanongwynne6439]

Well how you know it's bad is when they have to add nutrients back after processing, this is called enrichment and is a red flag on any food product. The shelf life is for profits not for the consumer lol

[@DunnickFayuro]

The shelf life is for more parents to be able to afford feeding their babies with less money.

[@shanongwynne6439]

@@DunnickFayuro absolute garbage spun by paid lobby groups back when they first started pushing the crap, you're just one of the masses that follows rather than research and learn for themselves, good luck with that.

[@DunnickFayuro]

@@shanongwynne6439 More like a collective realization that the more you scale your production, the lower is your cost of manufacturing *and* the less waste you get from non spoiling food means cheaper product. No brainwashing required here :)

[@blynkeus]

I agree with you. And disagree with you. Mostly agree, though.

[@labla8940]

That sodalist thinking is why many countries cant feed their kids, it make no sense and just wrong. More waste the more food cost corporations account for it. Business is way more complicated than you think. Fair market keeps prices stable. Corporations don't stock product that last a year in hopes of profit. They make it last a year because the consumer choose that option. If it lasted half as long: then in your minds thinking a corporation would profit more A greedy corporation would want you to buy a short shelf life product use your head. Designed obsolescence is the cornerstone of greed

[@lannguyen-pu1db]

Will synthetic vitamins make babies into synthetic humans in the long run?

[@labla8940]

Ok then buy the expensive food, most people want a balance of price. babies get plenty of everything they need either way. I don't see rickets, scurvy or any malnutrition a problem with any well fed baby. If nutrients were an issue you would know about it. Unless you are in a space station or the South Pole for 6 months nutritional deficiency is not an issue, especially in a 1st world country. I wouldn't doubt that many get way more than their daily allowance recommendations. Imagine having 3x less stock pf baby food look at all the BS Biden admin is pulling its critical or was critical imagine 3x worse. A non factor of nutrition vs no nutrition you do the math. All my kids ate long shelf life never had one time where lack of nutrition was an issue

[@boulderarchitect]

The problem is that a lot of nutrients aren't vitamins. They can't replace the micro-nutrients that are destroyed, which is why manufactured foods are so much less nutritious than non-processed foods.

[@eboracum]

Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals, and they talk about how much vitamin content is preserved in these methods. They don't explicitly talk about minerals, but I imagine minerals are 100% preserved because those are basic elements (iron, magnesium, etc) and much more stable than the organic molecules of vitamins.

so when its possible to have babyfood with high standards without pesticides and heavy metal, why do they dont do it for the adults too? oh and btw you traveled around the world for a 6 mins video clip and produced more co2 than this series is worth it: thumbs down for that
