HIPP Organic Baby Foods

Hipp organic baby foods are based on natural lactose from organic skim milk. They do not contain corn syrup, sugar or soy. Most HiPP foods provide both probiotics and prebiotics.

They also contain additional whey protein to mimic the natural composition of breast milk protein as closely as possible. HiPP is undisputedly regarded as one of the best manufacturers of infant and toddler nutrition in Europe. In addition to the popular Combiotic products, special mention should be made of the hypoallergenic foods (HA) for children at risk of allergies and various special foods for children with digestive problems. The formulas are adapted to the different age groups to provide optimal nutrition for young children.

 

HIPP Bio Combiotic

Hipp Bio Combiotic (registered trademark: Combiotik®) is the ideal supplement for healthy children when breastfeeding alone is not possible or the mother has decided against it for other reasons. Depending on the age, there is a precisely adapted variety.

After birth, an initial milk can be given: “Pre” or “Stage 1”. For children six months and older, HiPP Stage 2 follow-on milk is recommended, which is available with or without starch. For children 10 months and older, Stage 3 follow-on milk is ideal. The latter can be given until complete weaning.

HIPP HA FORMULAS (Hypoallergenic)

HiPP HA (Hypoallergenic) formulas are especially suitable for children who are considered at risk of allergies due to family history. To avoid triggering allergies in the first place, these formulas contain only low-allergen protein.

HIPP Special Formulas

If your baby has problems with digestion, such as frequent constipation, HiPP Comfort Formula can be given after consultation with your pediatrician to ensure soft bowel movements. If frequent burping occurs, the HiPP Anti-Reflux Formula can help.

Why does HIPP formula actually have its own organic seal?

From chocolate to potato chips, every product that meets the legal requirements can now call itself organic. Therefore, it is important to explain the difference between “standard organic” and HIPP’s organic quality in more detail.

HIPP started with organic farming more than 60 years ago. At that time, “organic” was not yet a big issue. HIPP swam against the tide and pushed ahead with organic farming with full conviction. This is how they set new standards for the quality of baby food. These quality measures are taken into account in soil selection, cultivation and processing and are thus also in every HIPP formula.

Is the EU organic seal not good enough?

The EU organic regulation is in itself a good thing. It prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, genetic engineering and artificial colors and preservatives, flavors or flavor enhancers.

However, EU laws do not regulate the quality of the organic goods in question beyond cultivation. Pollutants from the air, soil or neighboring fields can contaminate cultivated fruits, vegetables or grains. Accordingly, the legal regulations for baby food allow a very small amount of pesticides in baby food. However, HiPP aims for significantly lower levels than required by law. This means they do not allow these residues and therefore carry out seamless quality testing at a high technical level. Only flawless organic goods enter the HIPP formula and then receive its organic seal.

How the HIPP formula achieves the highest purity

First, HIPP uses soil samples to check whether a field is suitable at all. Already many years ago, they exclusively contracted the most suitable growing areas for the respective vegetable variety. Over decades, they have acquired special knowledge of how the crop rotation must be operated, and during cultivation they supervise the organic farmers and work closely with them. Later, on delivery, they accept the produce only after it has passed laboratory tests to meet the strict HIPP purity requirements. The goal is the best possible quality for every single HIPP formula.

Organic vegetable growing

Organic vegetables for HIPP formula thrive on healthy soils. Green manuring and well-coordinated crop rotations form the basis for the high product quality of HIPP organic vegetables. In addition, organic farming protects both groundwater and the climate.

But it’s not just what happens on the field itself that’s important. Biodiversity at the edge of fields and roadsides also matters. The more beneficial insects there are on the lawns, the fewer pests settle in the field and the shoots can grow into strong plants in peace.

HIPP therefore has its own agricultural service, which also advises and supports HIPP farmers in matters of cultivation and biodiversity.

This ensures that the organic quality of the raw materials for each HIPP formula remains consistently high.

Organic fruit cultivation

HIPP controls organic fruit from blossoming to processing. For baby food, HIPP selects particularly mild and low-acid varieties. Synthetic pesticides are unnecessary in organic cultivation. Pests have difficulty spreading when nature is in balance.

The old, excellent banana variety “Gros Michel” grows under the best conditions directly in the jungle of Costa Rica. It is very aromatic and has an optimal sugar content for baby food. One looks for it in vain in large plantations. The indigenous population, on the other hand, cultivates them in the original way and thus also preserves the unique biodiversity of the highland jungle.

HIPP has agreed long-term contracts on site. Since then, around 1,000 smallholders have been able to rely on guaranteed purchases and fair prices. To ensure the excellent raw material quality that HIPP needs for its premium baby food, an employee works on site. Over the course of two decades, a great relationship of trust has developed between him and the smallholder families. In this way, the baby food manufacturer from Germany has taken on a great deal of social responsibility for people for whom it was often almost impossible to earn a regular living in the past.

The main force behind the banana project, from which more than 10,000 people in the region benefit directly and indirectly, is primarily the women. In addition to the social benefits, there are also ecological benefits: The banana plants stand individually and far apart – unlike in plantation cultivation. In the event of disease or fungal infestation, the affected bush can therefore simply be removed to prevent it from spreading. Unlike conventional cultivation, no pesticides or plant protection products are used. This preserves the natural habitat of people, plants and animals and protects biodiversity.

Organic milk for HIPP formula

The organic milk for HIPP formula comes exclusively from farmers who work strictly according to the guidelines of organic farming. The natural feeding of the animals with grass, hay or cereals guarantees the best organic quality for a nutrient-rich milk. This is what makes organic milk so valuable for HIPP formulas.

HIPP organic milk is subject to controls by independent institutes. In addition, HIPP checks all products for numerous physical and chemical parameters, which are even stricter than required by law. This ensures that your baby receives only the best organic milk.

Species appropriate animal husbandry

The species-appropriate husbandry and feeding of farm animals are central components of organic agriculture. The legal regulations are particularly strict: feed must come from organic farms and must not contain antibiotics, performance enhancers or genetically modified raw materials. In addition, a suitable choice of breeds, plenty of freedom of movement, large stalls and sufficient light ensure animal health.

HIPP employees regularly check on site that all animal welfare requirements demanded by HIPP are met. This comprehensive process control guarantees consumers gentle and species-appropriate animal husbandry.

Organic cattle

HIPP cattle and calves live on well-tended organic farms. They have plenty of outdoor space, as this makes them robust and hardy. This keeps organic cattle in good health.

Of course, the good feed also contributes to this. Because if they haven’t eaten their fill on the pasture, the animals are fed high-quality, organic plant-based feed. Animal welfare and health are always monitored by veterinarians and fully documented. You can taste this quality in every HIPP formula.

Organic chicken

The organic chickens come from sustainably managed poultry farms. They enjoy free run for sand bathing and scratching. They are fed with high-quality organic feed from vegetable production. And the turkeys also live well. The usual beak trimming does not happen here.

The animal welfare and health of the poultry are of course also monitored by a veterinarian and fully documented.

Sustainability

The three dimensions of sustainability together form a bundle of goals: ecological, economic and social. They are mutually dependent and usually compete with each other.

HIPP tries to cover the three dimensions in such a way that they can be integrated as equally as possible in everyday business.

HIPP Sustainability Guidelines

These guidelines provide the workforce with direction in their daily work. They enable systematic action from the perspective of sustainability. In 2020, HIPP revised the sustainability guidelines and adapted them to the constantly changing framework conditions.

HIPP and the environment

The focus is on preserving the foundations of life through the careful use of natural resources. Beyond compliance with all laws and regulations, HIPP sets itself further goals. In this sense, the company’s environmental management is continuously developed and improved through appropriate measures, while at the same time reducing negative effects on the environment. To this end, guidelines have been established that are constantly being further developed. Among other things, this includes a high ecological standard through compliance with international environmental management systems (ISO 14001 and EMAS).

Within this framework, HIPP is developing measures to combat climate change, the depletion of natural resources and the extinction of species. The goals are to reduce emissions, avoid fossil raw materials and reduce other resource consumption. HIPP promotes biodiversity through its commitment against genetic engineering and with research into near-natural agricultural methods. This goal is reflected in every single HIPP formula.

HiPP and social responsibility

HIPP recognizes its social responsibility. Its claim is to act in a credible manner. To its customers, HIPP is committed to producing consistently high quality. HIPP shows trust and respect to its partners. Innovative, sustainable products help to strengthen sustainable consumption.

In addition, charitable measures document the company’s commitment to society. HIPP reports regularly on its sustainability management activities and maintains a dialog with the public. The company is open to questions from employees, parents, consumers, politicians and other stakeholders, because transparency is part of acting and doing business responsibly.

HIPP promotes the cultural diversity of its employees. A lived diversity and appreciation of this diversity have a positive impact on society and the company’s success in equal measure. This gives customers who buy a HIPP formula the good conscience that they are also taking responsibility towards the environment and society.

HIPP and value creation

Sustainable development requires the interaction of different parties. That is why HIPP expects its partners to meet the same social and environmental requirements as HIPP itself. In addition, suppliers undertake to also comply with all environmental and social standards formulated by HIPP.

In the area of the supply chain, these include above all compliance with human rights, the renunciation of child labor, and the guarantee of appropriate working conditions and social benefits. Employees should be able to lead a dignified life with their families, enabling them to participate in society.

HIPP strives for profit optimization instead of profit maximization in the sense of sustainable value creation. HIPP rejects a “cheap price policy” to the detriment of product quality and thus, as a rule, to the detriment of the environment and consumers. In entrepreneurial terms, this means thinking beyond quarterly results and focusing on sustainable values.

HIPP as an employer

For HIPP, social responsibility is the basis for entrepreneurial action. The Ethics Charter serves as the basis for this cooperation. It guides all employees to an open, collegial and humane corporate culture, as well as to a similar treatment of contractual partners, customers and consumers. Wages are fair and, as a rule, are above the standard pay scale. The aim is to maintain the high level of occupational safety and health protection in the long term.

The compatibility of career and family, diversity in practice, inclusion and demographic change are of outstanding importance in the design of the strategic personnel concept.
