Question

My son is currently on the Heinz jars as he is 6 months but is only taking 1/2 jar at a time at the moment. I usually take out what I need and put the jar in the fridge, but if I am going out can I spoon what I need into a sealed container. Wasn't sure if it would be alright taking food out of the jar to take with me.

Answer

The food in the jar is sterile until it is opened, after which any uneaten food should be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours. To keep the food fresh when you're out, I would advise that you store it in a sealed container, as you suggest but also that you keep it in a cool bag with an ice block. Ideally, I would advise you heat the food till piping hot before serving to your little one.
