Gerber® Enhances Beloved Puffs and Teether Wheels Snacks with Nutrient-Dense Sorghum

New sorghum-based recipe more than doubles the whole grains per serving

ARLINGTON, Va., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its commitment to evolve with the needs of babies and parents, Gerber^®, a trusted leader in early childhood nutrition, is updating its Puffs and Teether Wheels snacks with a new recipe featuring sorghum, a nutrient-dense, gluten-free whole grain. This change increases the whole grain from 2 grams to 5 grams per serving, offering more nutritional value in every bite without compromising on the taste and texture babies love.

Sorghum provides fiber, protein, antioxidants, and minerals like iron and magnesium. While the recipe is new, the taste and texture of Gerber Puffs and Teether Wheels will remain consistent, with the same great dissolvability.

"We know parents want to feel confident in the snacks they choose for their little ones, which is why we're dedicated to crafting recipes with wholesome, high quality ingredients," said Oscar Benítez, President of Gerber. "By transitioning our beloved Puffs and Teether Wheels to a sorghum-based recipe, we're able to increase the amount of whole grain giving parents the peace of mind that comes with knowing when they choose Gerber, they don't have to compromise on nutrition or taste."

The updated Puffs and Teether Wheels are already rolling out on shelves nationwide, and as part of the update, the recommended age for Teether Wheels will increase to 12+ months from 10+ months to best match the developmental stage of older infants. This reformulation reinforces Gerber's commitment to nutritious recipes and high-quality ingredients, so parents can continue to feel confident in the snacks they choose for their children.
