Answer: Annie's Organic All-Stars Canned Pasta.  Okay, we can appreciate that Annie's uses organic ingredients, and that they don't use MSG. In fact after talking with their customer service department this week, we almost feel bad about calling them out here. They are a very conscientious company in so many ways. Unfortunately their refined wheat canned pastas are still processed fake food with enriched flour (seminola) and evaporated cane juice (sugar). They also have BPA in the lining of their cans. The customer service rep said it was well within the safe FDA guidelines for BPA (huh - is any amount of BPA safe?) and they are researching alternatives - which seems like a contradiction. If you're so sure it's safe why replace it. Back to the point - if you are feeding your child Annie's products, make sure to look for the 100% whole-grain pastas and foods. Annie's is a step in the right direction if you are moving your child toward more REAL food.  Just don't get stuck there everyday.

REAL Alternative: Your own homemade whole grain pasta meal! You don't need Kraft or Annie to make a simple tomato-based pasta dish your child will love. And, you can add your own organic veggies to make it even more nutrient-dense like REAL mom, Teri Deni, does with her 'Pasta with Slimy Green Sauce'.
