All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g. Sugars here are total sugars as printed. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned.
Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. No sodium figure was printed in any source retrieved for this category, so the sodium column reads "not stated" throughout — it is not estimated as zero.
Total vs added sugars: packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (cane sugar, sugar, brown sugar, dextrose, invert sugar, honey) versus naturally occurring sugars (fruit puree, lactose in milk powder).
Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. Click a column header to sort the table; "not stated" always sorts last.

Per-serving figures (quoted exactly as printed, not converted): Gerber Puffs (current recipe) — 2 g whole grains per serving; 5 g whole grains per serving is stated on some listings for the same product — the two figures conflict between listings and are flagged here, not resolved. One secondary listing gives a Gerber Puffs serving as 25 kcal with 1 g sugars and 0 g protein, but the serving size behind those figures was garbled in the source, so they are not tabled. Per-serving rows are kept separate from the per-100 g table above and are never sorted against it.
Observed numbers, no verdict: no per-100 g nutrition figure was verified for any panelled baby or toddler snack in this pass. This page is therefore ingredient-only until SG packs are photographed.
Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for any product on this page, panelled or seen-but-not-verified. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here.
Checked 12 November 2026 from: Shopee Singapore (Gerber Puffs Organic listing — SG channel); US retailer listings (Food Lion, Stop & Shop, Shaws, Super 1 Foods, Foods Co. — Gerber Puffs current and older recipes, Lil' Crunchies); secondary listing (Gerber Puffs Vanilla); UK retailer listings (Ocado, Morrisons, ASDA, SuperValu — Heinz Farley's Rusks and So Yummy Biscotti). Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so its shelf could not be panelled from its site. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition: figures are standardised to per 100 g where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
