Did You Know?

All Purity Nutrition products are free from preservatives, colours or artificial flavours. Our jars remain shelf stable for 2 years because the product is cooked in the jar to keep the goodness sealed in. Purity cereals are also the only locally produced baby cereals to provide more than 50% of the daily iron requirements of a baby aged 6 - 12 months in one serving. The Purity range does not contain added salt and only the jarred dessert range contains a small amount of sugar.
