I'm a nanny & the NHS advice is right – I would NEVER feed a kid an Aldi pouch & here's the exact reason why…
A PROFESSIONAL nanny has revealed the Aldi kids' food she would never give her clients' children. Emily, who works with families all over the world, claimed that she would personally avoid 'pouches and meal trays' that you can pick up in supermarkets. 4 4 Over recent years, numerous companies have found success in convincing parents that feeding a baby with a quick and convenient processed pouch is easier and also nutritious. However, there have been growing concerns over whether they are nutritionally sufficient and if they hinder a varied diet. On her @thenosugarcoatnanny account, Emily, who is trained as a prestigious Norland nanny, held up two items from Aldi's Organia Mamia range, which are designed for children. Speaking of their 'super cheap' 65p apples, parsnips and carrots pouch (intended for ages four months and above) and their 95p chicken and vegetable cous cous (designed for 12 months and older), she said: 'These are products that I do not recommend to parents." PANORAMA INVESTIGATION Emily cited an investigation by BBC Panorama, which found that six leading UK brands did not meet their key nutritional needs for baby food pouches. The NHS website has published advice on commercial baby food, and said parents should not rely on shop-bought pouches as everyday meals. Some popular baby food pouches are labelled as being "perfectly balanced for growing babies" or "packed with goodness". Emily added: 'Lots of you know about the Panorama documentary that came out about pouches and food. 'I think if you haven't watched it as a parent, definitely go and watch it.' The study followed the World Health Organisation stating that it is "critical" that infants and toddlers get good nutrition in the first three years of life. Disgusted mom shares warning after finding mold inside her baby's food pouch and it was still in date Babies need food that is "pure, varied, minimally seasoned and nutrient-dense." Despite this, by the age of two to five, the average UK toddler has been found to get 61 per cent of their energy from ultra-processed foods, according to a 2022 study. IRON LEVELS Emily's next gripe was with the iron levels in baby meals, and claimed that 'a baby needs 7.8 mg a day.' In the Panorama documentary, Ella's Kitchen spag bol had just 0.7mg of iron, while Aldi's Bangers and Mash contained 0.5mg of iron and a Lidl meal had about 0.4mg. Emily claimed: 'Aldi's products were tested, and their iron levels in them were around 0.5 mg. 'So, if you give your child, let's say, this for breakfast, this for lunch, and a similar one for dinner, your child's, getting 1.5 milligrams of iron a day? 'That's so incredibly low. 'And obviously, children need iron to grow their blood cells. 'It's obviously to help with their oxygen and the flow around their body. 'So, that's something to really, really consider when thinking of these.' 4 Emily shared how she wasn't advising parents to avoid them completely, and said they are 'absolutely fine' for days out if you've not made anything or forgotten a snack. She explained: 'But what I don't want parents to be doing is stocking their cupboards full of these sorts of things, and then that's your go-to.' A spokesperson for Aldi said: 'Our range of products can help parents and carers to support a child's weaning journey by introducing a wide variety of food and flavours as part of a varied diet. "Any sugar in them is naturally occurring and would be the same in a fruit puree made at home.' NHS GUIDANCE The NHS Start For Life website states that parents should wait until their baby is around six months old before feeding them solid foods, even if labels on pouches say the products are suitable from four months. Experts say the products should only be used sparingly, and not as replacements for homemade meals. They also advised they can cause children health problems if used as their main source of nutrition. The six brands involved in the investigation were Ella's Kitchen, Heinz, Piccolo, Little Freddie, Aldi and Lidl, who all said their products were intended to be used as a complementary part of a child's varied weaning diet.

Russian billionaire and Putin critic launches AI data centres in the UK
A Russian billionaire and critic of Vladimir Putin is preparing to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in artificial intelligence (AI) data centres in the UK. Nebius, a technology company headquartered in the Netherlands, will invest £200m to establish an 'AI factory' in Britain, deploying 4,000 graphics-processing chips designed to power the latest generation of machine-learning technology. The $12bn (£9bn) business is assessing potential data centre sites in the South East. Nebius was formed as part of a carve-up of Yandex, a company known as 'Russia's Google'. Arkady Volozh, a Russian entrepreneur worth a reported $2bn, founded Yandex in 1997 as a Russian rival to the US search engine. The business later listed in New York and in 2021 was valued at more than $30bn. However, its shares were suspended in 2022 after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Mr Volozh was sanctioned by the European Union. Over the years Yandex faced growing pressure from the Kremlin to censor online news and search results, and the company was accused by Brussels of helping to spread Kremlin propaganda. In 2023, Mr Volozh labelled Vladimir Putin's invasion 'barbaric' and said he was 'horrified' by the war. He said: 'I am categorically against it. Although I moved to Israel in 2014, I have to take my share of responsibility for the country's actions. 'There were reasons to stay silent during this long process. While there will anyway be questions about the timing of my statement today, there should be no questions about its essence. I am against the war.' The European Union removed its sanctions of Mr Volozh last year. Nebius was formed as part of a carve-up of Yandex, which spun off its Russian search division in a $5bn deal to Russian investors. Nebius, which is listed in the US, is made up of the remaining European, US and Israeli assets, including several data centres powered by Nvidia microchips and its self-driving car technology. Mr Volozh, Nebius's chief executive, said: 'The UK is where AI is being built, tested, and deployed at scale across industries from fintech to life sciences. Being here puts us closer to the start-ups, researchers, and enterprise leaders shaping what's next.' Nebius's UK investment comes after Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, announced plans to spend more than £1bn to boost the UK's computing power in a speech at London Tech Week alongside Jensen Huang, the Nvidia chief executive. On Monday, the Government announced a series of AI investments ahead of this week's Treasury spending review. These included £1bn for an AI research resource, made up of powerful AI data centres and supercomputers, as well as £187m to boost the technological skills of the UK workforce. On Tuesday, Peter Kyle, the Technology Secretary, also announced plans for a new Turing AI fellowship in a speech at London Tech Week. Backed by £25m, the programme will seek five AI experts who will be offered a substantial package to relocate to the UK and hire a team to conduct AI research. Mr Kyle said: 'We will harness the vast potential of our trillion-pound tech sector to help remake our country for the better.'
