Squeeze pouch or Squeeze bag is a tube-shaped package with usually fruit or baby food that has a liquid or porridge-like consistency. The product for children was invented in 2007[1] and pouches were introduced in the US in 2008.[2] The product has become popular with parents and toddlers.
The bags are said to be intended for use as snacks. One manufacturer recommends serving the product directly on a spoon for easy feeding. However, it happens that children squeeze the packaging and suck in the contents.
Similar packaging and contents are also available for adults as space food[3] and as sports-related nutrition.[4]
Criticism
Pediatricians have expressed concerns about the intake of supplementary pouches and also about the content including sugar/energy and the risk of tooth decay and obesity.[5]
Research
Even moderately with fruit pouches does not cause excess weight (at the age of 18 months).[6] and consumption of fruit pouches are not associated with early manifestations of allergic disease.[7]
