Yooji offers healthy, organic meal-size portions for babies. Their recipes are gently cooked and quickly frozen to preserve the nutrients and authentic flavours as in home-made preparations.
The company has attracted investors such as Caravelle, Capagro Innovation and Danone Manifesto Ventures, with Pymwymic joining recently as co-investor. The French start-up also partners with UNI Packaging, using their digital presses to reduce production costs.
1. Good for your baby’s digestive system
The digestive system of a baby is an important part of its overall development. It is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from food, such as essential fatty acids needed for brain and eye health. A healthy digestive system also helps prevent nutrient deficiencies.
Founded in 2012, Yooji offers frozen meals in baby portions that are made from organic or sustainable ingredients and are gluten-free and without additives. The company’s recipes are gently cooked and then rapidly frozen to preserve their nutritional qualities.
Yooji’s employees make an average salary of $102,453 per year. This is more than the median salary for companies in the same industry.
2. Good for your baby’s immune system
The immune system is made up of organs, cells and proteins that defend your body from germs and toxins. It is especially important for children to have a strong, healthy immune system to avoid getting sick as much as possible and to help fight disease.
French start-up Yooji, founded in 2012, has developed and markets a range of easy to prepare organic baby food that is gluten free and contains no additives. The frozen meals are cooked and prepared with carefully selected, high-quality ingredients and gently and quickly frozen to preserve the nutritional qualities and authentic flavours.
Danone’s investment arm, the Danone Manifesto Ventures (DMV), invested in the company last week to support its mission to invest in young, disruptive companies that are developing new products that are healthier and sustainable. Other DMV investments include premium biscuit-to-dessert maker Michel & Augustin in France and vending machine salad maker Farmer’s Fridge in the US.
3. Good for your baby’s eyes
Newborns’ eyes should be cleaned a few times per day, especially after they wake up and after their bath. This will prevent their eyes from getting irritated and the accumulation of secretions, since their skin is much thinner with little adipose tissue.
Encouraging your baby’s visual development is a full-time job. Regular well visits with a pediatrician can help you spot any problems early on, which will be easier to fix than if they are caught later. Make sure to include lots of healthy food in your baby’s diet, including a variety of fruits and vegetables, nuts, up to 12 ounces of fish a week, and other nutrients that are good for their vision.
People with the name Yooji often feel a powerful connection to intuition and deep knowledge. They can use this power to create a better future for themselves and others. They are also sensitive to higher vibrations and have a sensitivity to psychic information.
4. Good for your baby’s teeth
Frequent snacking or grazing can cause tooth decay, so it’s important to encourage healthy eating habits. Try to avoid commercial teething biscuits, which are often full of sugar and stick in your baby’s mouth, and choose high-calcium dairy products instead. Yooji offers organic foods that are gentle on babies’ teeth and gums.
The French company was founded in 2012 and focuses on easy-to-prepare, delicious organic baby food. Its recipes are made with organic or sustainable ingredients and they don’t use any additives. They are also gluten-free.
Caravelle and Capagro, which also invested in the company, support Yooji’s mission to meet parents’ and societal expectations for healthy, easy-to-use, and delicious foods for babies. They’re proud to welcome Pymwymic and DS as new coinvestors, who share their impact-oriented approach.
