We are continuing to expand our distribution channels and will drive step changes in 2022 and beyond,” continued Sturzenegger.

Additionally, Good Housekeeping has named Amara to its list of the 12 Best Organic Food Brands, According to Moms and Babies. Good Housekeeping tested several brands through a panel of children, parents and GH editors to see which organic food products are the best for babies while also including information on what measures are being taken to minimize heavy metals.

According to GH, “Our nutrition experts rave about these organic plant-based meals in powder form. The method Amara uses does not require repeated high heat processes. Just add water, formula or breastmilk to the mix and you have a healthy meal ready for your little one in seconds. Testers loved that the wholesome offerings were conveniently shelf-stable and featured unique superfood combos like applesauce with maqui berry”.¹
