Every batch of FruGies goes through a three-layer testing system — batch quality, product safety and shelf life — before it reaches your baby.
The batch code begins with IY followed by a product code, batch number and series letter — e.g. IYBB180006A for Black Grapes & Banana.
Our three-layer safety system
Batch quality testing — every single production run
Instantly Yours Inc., Mangrol, Surat · 10 parameters · QA/QC approved
Every batch of FruGies is tested across 10 parameters by our manufacturing partner Instantly Yours Inc. before release. This covers colour, taste, texture, acidity, Brix (natural sugars), pH, salt content, consistency, Total Plate Count and Yeast & Mould. Signed by Chemist, Microbiologist and Sr. QA/QC Executive. No batch ships without this certificate.
Product contaminants & residues testing — NABL accredited
Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd., Thane · 49 parameters · As per FSSR 2011 · NABL TC-8284
A comprehensive contaminants and residues test conducted by Envirocare Labs — an independent NABL-accredited laboratory — as per FSSR 2011 standards. 49 harmful substances were screened across four categories. The sample was confirmed to conform to FSSR 2011 on all tested parameters.
Accelerated shelf life study — independent validation
Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd., Thane · 40°C & 75% RH · 90 days · NABL TC-8284
To validate the 9-month shelf life claim, an accelerated shelf life study was conducted under simulated harsh conditions (40°C, 75% relative humidity) over 90 days. Microbiology, chemical and sensory parameters were tested at Day 3, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90. The product remained stable throughout with all sensory scores rated "Like Extremely" (5/5) and no microbial contamination detected at any point.

The 10-parameter batch quality test is done on every single production batch by Instantly Yours Inc. The 49-parameter contaminants test is a product-level safety certification done by an independent NABL lab as per FSSR 2011. Together they form our two-layer testing system, supported by an independently validated 9-month shelf life study.
BLQ means not found. The laboratory screened for the substance using precision instruments and detected nothing above the lowest measurable threshold. When it comes to pesticides and heavy metals in your baby's food, BLQ is exactly what you want to see.
An accelerated shelf life study was conducted by Envirocare Labs at 40°C and 75% relative humidity — much harsher than normal storage conditions — over 90 days. The product remained microbiologically safe, chemically stable and sensory perfect (5/5) throughout. This scientifically validates the 9-month shelf life claim.
TPC stands for Total Plate Count — it measures living bacteria per gram of product. A result of <10 means fewer than 10 bacteria per gram were detected, which is the lowest measurable level. This confirms our retort sterilisation at 100°C was completely effective.
It is destroyed. No failed batch has ever been released, discounted or diverted. This has never changed and will never change.
"I started Li'l Sprouts because I was scared of what I was feeding my baby. That fear never left me. It just became the standard we hold every single batch to. Because your baby deserves the same thing mine does — food you don't have to question."
