Safety Information
How to Serve Hazelnut Flour to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
At this stage, hazelnut flour can be offered in very small quantities (a pinch, up to 1–2 grams/⅛ tsp) mixed into a variety of foods to gently introduce the allergen. Try blending into soft cereals, mashed fruits, or yogurt for nutritional enrichment. Always watch closely for potential allergic reactions. Serve as part of a well-rounded meal that provides iron (like fortified cereals or pureed meats), vitamin C (mashed berries or citrus), and healthy fats (avocado or chia). Avoid serving hazelnut flour alone.

Hazelnut flour is highly allergenic, so continue to monitor for symptoms of allergy. Avoid if any family member has nut allergies. Never serve hazelnut flour dry.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.
Important Safety Disclaimer
Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:
- Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
- Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
- Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
- Strict Supervision: 100% active, arm's-length adult supervision is required at all times while your child is eating or interacting with food.
