Lil’ Gourmets Expands Nationwide, Now Available in Over 1,200 Walmart Stores

The partnership secures the retail industry’s largest commitment to fresh baby food. 

CHICAGO, IL, APRIL 9th, 2025 / --  

Lil’ Gourmets, the first fresh and organic, veggie-first brand of baby food, is excited to announce its expansion into more than 1,200 Walmart stores nationwide. This launch brings the brand’s nutritious and globally inspired baby meals to even more families seeking fresh, veggie-rich options for their little ones. 

“Bringing Lil’ Gourmets to Walmart stores nationwide is a huge step in making fresh, veggie-first baby food more accessible to parents across the country,” said Shibani Baluja, Founder and CEO of Lil’ Gourmets. “Families are looking for nutritious, convenient options they can feel great about feeding their kids, and we’re thrilled to join Walmart and be a part of this growing movement toward fresh baby food.” 

As a brand dedicated to making mealtimes healthier and more exciting for babies, Lil’ Gourmets offers fresh, organic meals designed to introduce little ones to a variety of vegetables and flavors from an early age. Each recipe delivers 100% of a baby’s daily vegetable intake in one pouch, with a focus on globally inspired flavors to help develop healthy and adventurous eaters. 

“We’ve been so impressed with the speed Walmart is moving at to expand fresh baby food and their passion to positively impact childhood nutrition. Walmart is helping make ‘Convenience without Compromise’ and our mission to inspire healthy and adventurous eaters, now even simpler!”  added Danica Matulis, Head of Marketing at Lil’ Gourmets. 

Key Features of Lil’ Gourmets 

"Lil’ Gourmets is exactly what I was looking for as a new mom—fresh, veggie-packed meals, full of flavors that babies love, and that teach them to love veggies and diverse flavors for life, " said Baluja. "Many of the baby food options I found on store shelves were older than my own baby, full of sugar, and lacking the nutrients our babies need and the transparency we as parents deserve. I knew we needed a fresh solution that combined the taste and nutrition of homemade food with the convenience of a ready-to-eat meal." 

Parents can now find four varieties of Lil’ Gourmets baby food in over 1,200 Walmart stores across the country: Cauliflower Carrot Mash, Cinnamon Beets & Apples, Moroccan Squash & Carrots, and Sweet Potato Curry. These meals are available in Walmart’s Fresh Baby Coolers, located in the baby aisle.
