The Kids Bars are suitable for children over age one who can eat solid foods, and are made mostly of organic dates, which keeps them soft and easy to chew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products in the pack are Certified Organic, Certified Vegan, Certified Gluten Free, and Certified Plastic Neutral.
