Where to buy prunes for babies (in Canada or US)?
« on: April 07, 2011, 04:48:00 am »
Wondering if anyone could tell me where to get prunes that are suitable for babies. The one I buy for myself is Kirkland brand and it contains potassium sorbate (a preservative, I presume). I can't seem to find prunes that doesn't contain any other chemicals. 

Thanks

Are there any health food stores around you?  You could probably find them there.

I buy mine at Superstore in the health food section.  They also do an organic/no preservative / non sulpharized apricot as well as the prunes.  They carry 2 different brands.

Hi aisling,
What are the brands you got from superstore? Did you get them at the organic aisle?

Yes in the organic/health aisles. 

Sunridge Farms -https://www.sunridgefarms.com/   They do nuts too.

I can't for the life of me remember the other company but they are in a lime green package.
