Safety Information
How to Serve Truffle Oil to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
Truffle oil is very aromatic and should be used sparingly. For babies 6 to 9 months, it is best used as an occasional flavor accent—no more than 1 mL (1/5 teaspoon) mixed into larger portions of pureed vegetables or proteins. Serve as part of a balanced meal with iron-rich foods (like lentils or chicken), starchy carbohydrates, and vitamin-C-rich vegetables. Focus on gentle introduction to flavor, not as a fat source. Watch for any unusual reactions.

How to Serve Truffle Oil to a 9–18 Months Old
Serving Instructions
Continue to use truffle oil very sparingly—no more than 2 mL (1/2 teaspoon) per serving as a flavor accent. Drizzle over cooked grains, vegetables, or pasta just before serving. Ensure it is blended well with the food and serve as part of a varied meal including protein, complex carbohydrates, and vitamin-rich vegetables. Truffle oil should remain an occasional treat due to its intense aroma. Observe carefully for allergies or tummy sensitivities.

How to Serve Truffle Oil to a 18+ Months Old
Serving Instructions
You may gradually increase the truffle oil to about 3 mL (3/5 teaspoon) per serving, but always keep it as an occasional flavor enhancer, not a daily addition. Drizzle over roasted vegetables, grains, or scrambled eggs, and blend thoroughly. Truffle oil can help expand a child’s palate, but meals should remain balanced with ample iron, fiber, protein, and vitamins from a wide variety of ingredients. Monitor for possible sensitivities.

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.
