Gerber Non-GMO Baby Food Stage 1 Single Grain Baby Oatmeal Cereal - 8oz: Kosher, Cholesterol Free, Whole Grain
The verdict

- • mixes well with formula or milk
- • trusted gerber brand quality
Worth knowing
- • new box not resealable or sealable
- • no pour spout on packaging
- • container lid doesn't stay on
