Baby food pouch bags can sometimes contain foods that have to be heated before consumption. Such bags are usually designed to withstand microwave heat. While some baby foods can be eaten directly from the pouch (like fruit puree), other foods might need to be heated. Aware of this, the manufacturers of these food items usually design their stand up bags in such a way that they are able to withstand high heat. If you are a baby food manufacturer and the food you sell needs to be warmed up prior to consumption, it’s a good idea to go for microwave safe pouches.

Some flexible pouches used in baby food are designed to withstand the immense heat of a microwave. Other pouches are designed to be heated in warm water. Both of them can stay okay even in high heat.  However, in both cases these pouches are not designed to withstand a naked flame. These pouches can be placed on the microwave tray to be warmed.

In comparison, baby food pouches that carry jams etc. may not be able to withstand heat even in such controlled circumstances. They may deform and crumble under heat and may leak out food. The best way to know is to read the usage guidelines at the back of the pouch.
