Are spaghetti hoops ok?

[missk1989]

Isaac has been refusing pretty much anything aside from fruit purée and nibbles of finger food but today he has willingly eaten a decent portion of spaghetti hoops with a few bits of fish mixed in. Are they classed as junk food or would they be ok a couple times a week?

I wouldnt class them as junk food, but I would question the salt content.

Maybe try making your own version, spahetti chopped up very small with some cooked, skinned, mashed tomatoes?

Isabelle loves spaghetti hoops I've never thought of them as junk food

I think they'd be ok once in a while but I'd imagine sugar and salt content might be quite high so I would try to avoid giving them on a regular basis.

I don't see anything wrong with them now and again. i gave lo some today for messy play, but i knew he'd try some and he's had low salt/sugar baked beans with mashed potato before.

I was wondering this about beans too, but yeah everything seems to be high in salt.

You can get low sugar and salt beans. Not spaghetti though.
