  • Easy to Use: With a fine texture, our prawn powder mixes effortlessly into baby foods like purees and cereals, enriching mealtime without complicating it.

How to Use

  1. When first introducing a new food, start by adding ¼ of a teaspoon into a child's usual food, puree or drink.
  2. If there is no allergic reaction, gradually increase the amount by ¼ of a teaspoon up to 1 teaspoon (2g total) over the next few days.
  3. Continue to give the food powder to the child regularly (at least twice weekly), as part of a varied diet, to maintain tolerance. Trying a food and then not giving it regularly may result in food allergy development.

ASCIA Recommendations for Allergy Prevention

  • When your infant is ready, at around six months, but not before four months, start to introduce a variety of solid foods. All infants should be given allergenic solid foods including peanut, cooked egg, dairy and wheat products in the first year of life. There is published evidence that this can protect against food allergy developing.
  • Only introduce one new common food allergen at each meal, so that the problem food can be identified if there is an allergic reaction. The most common food allergens are cow’s milk (dairy), egg, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, soy, sesame, fish and shellfish (crustaceans).
  • Unless there is an allergic reaction to the common food allergen, continue to give the food to your baby regularly (at least twice weekly), as part of a varied diet. Trying a food and then not giving it regularly to your infant may result in a food allergy developing.

Disclaimer

The goal of early allergenic food introduction is to familiarise the immune system with potential allergens, thereby reducing the risk of developing allergies. It is a valuable step in allergy risk reduction but doesn't guarantee 0% chance of allergies developing. Always consult with healthcare professionals for guidance.
