Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos? I thought they were quite similar to other similar brands of mini biscuits targeted at toddlers really. I liked that they were oats and the inclusion of the seeds as I think it made them a bit more filling. I was a bit annoyed that the second ingredient was molasses I.e sugar which felt a bit disingenuous, as if they were trying to disguise it and also, a percentage of ingredients was given for the healthy bits I.e oats and chia seeds but not for the honey or molasses! They were very sweet to eat too- but seemed to be a hit with my children! I was a bit confused by some of the additional ingredients - e.g pea protein. Is that really necessary?

Hi - response to you from Little Dish below:

"When we developed Go Gos, it was a priority for us to keep the amount of added sugar as low as possible while still being tasty for little ones. Go Gos contain 16% added sugar in the form of molasses, which is just 1 teaspoon (4g) of added sugar per 25g bag. This is lower than that in most baby biscuits currently available, and significantly lower than dried fruit snacks.

The amount of sugar in Go Gos is shown in the ‘Nutrition information’ table on our packs. The reason we only give a % for certain ingredients in our ingredients list is that labelling legislation requires manufacturers to provide a % for specific ingredients featured on the front of packaging - in our case this is wholegrain oats, flax and chia seeds and vanilla.

We included pea protein (= dried peas) as protein is an important nutrient for the growth of healthy muscles and bones. Each bag of Go Gos provides 3g of protein which is 20% of the recommended daily intake of protein for 1 to 3 year olds (based on FSA guidelines).

We hope this information is helpful."

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos? I loved the concept but was disappointed with the allergy advice. The coverall comment of being made in a factory that also uses milk is a quick/cheap way out of actually ensuring your product is free from allergens. Very disappointing.

On the allergy query - Little Dish say

"Go Gos are made to a recipe that doesn’t contain wheat or dairy. We have signposted this on our packs for the many parents who contact us to tell us that they prefer to reduce or avoid wheat and/or dairy in their family’s diet, as a dietary choice rather than an allergy issue. Go Gos are made in the same production kitchen as other biscuits that do use ingredients that contain wheat or dairy (such as white flour and butter). While the kitchen is thoroughly cleaned between making other recipes and making Go Gos, there is always a very small chance that a tiny amount of a wheat or dairy ingredient remains. Labelling regulations therefore require that we highlight this on our packaging to ensure that parents are able to make an informed decision based on their child’s sensitivity to these allergens. We’re sorry if this was misleading to anyone."

hello - a few of you commented about the packaging for the product test - Little Dish say "We know that parcels tend to get bumped around a lot in the post, and we wanted to ensure that your Go Gos would arrive in the best condition possible. However we take your comments on board and we’ll do our best to use less packaging next time" Smile
