Square Baby Lil Beef Stew
Summary
Square Baby Lil Beef Stew scores a perfect 100/100. A USDA Organic frozen baby meal with just six whole-food ingredients — organic beef, purple carrot, parsnip, beef bone broth, thyme, and olive oil. Zero added sugar, zero seed oils, zero preservatives. NOVA 1. Square Baby tested every single batch in 2024 and every meal came back below 3 ppb for all four heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury) — well under the 6 ppb California requires and published publicly without requiring lot numbers. An exceptional first-foods option for babies transitioning to protein.
