Lū'au Stew

Every batch of this pouch is tested for arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury by an ISO 17025-accredited lab (Light Labs, by ICP-MS/MS), and the certificate for each lot is published. The latest, lot 04/16/27 tested 2026-04-23, puts all four metals within the per-serving limits, with lead at 0.08 mcg per serving and mercury not detected.

Nothing describes the pouch's food-contact polymer, its bisphenol status, or any migration testing for this stew. No chemistry claim of any kind is published for the packaging that meets this food.

The stew is clearly labeled Stage 3, a textured meal for experienced eaters, matching its chunky venison-and-taro-leaf composition rather than overstating readiness for younger infants.

No heating, warming, or storage-temperature guidance for the pouch is published, and nothing addresses how the pack holds up to repeated handling or reheating.

We queried the CPSC recall database covering 1973-2026 and found no record of this brand in any role. The query's coverage was confirmed with control terms, so the clean result reflects a genuinely clean history.

Once opened, a pouch is to be refrigerated and eaten within 24 hours, a concrete storage instruction in the brand's own words; nothing is published on warming, serving from the pouch or discarding a pouch with a broken seal.

The product features the Hawaii Seal of Quality and the Made in Hawaii with Aloha program. These are named certifications asserted for the brand's products, though no certificate or member numbers are published.

The brand discloses that it moved from a small co-manufacturer to its own Waipahu, Hawaii facility, but no materials sourcing detail, warranty terms, or spare-parts/repair route are published for this product.

The stew lists its whole-food ingredients — taro leaves, venison bone broth, ginger — but no organic certification scheme, ingredient origin details, or added-sugar disclosure accompany the description.

No packaging material, laminate, or spout composition is named for this pouch, and no bisphenol-free or phthalate-free statement covering the pack is published.
