Allergen note
Mango chutney often contains mustard, a common allergen, and may include other allergens like nuts; always check the label and introduce a tiny amount separately after individual ingredients are tolerated.
How to serve
For infants over 8 months, mix a ¼ teaspoon into mashed vegetables or yogurt. For toddlers, serve up to 1 teaspoon as a spread on toast or a dip for soft foods.
Preparation
Steam ripe mango until soft, then puree it smooth without adding sugar, salt, or spices to ensure it's safe and easily digestible for young children.
Texture and choking risk
Mango chutney is a choking risk due to its sticky texture and potential chunks; always purée it until completely smooth and supervise closely during meals.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
Track first tastes and reactions
Log when your child first tries mango chutney, note any reaction and see it in the allergen tracker.
