Homogenized Vegetables, Not Frozen (Including Baby Food)

Finely pureed or homogenized vegetable preparations — marketed primarily as infant and toddler foods — enter under this subheading, which the US schedule further divides into organic (2005100010) and non-organic (2005100090) variants. Colombia is the leading supplier, a notable distinction from most other prepared-vegetable headings where European or North American origins dominate. FDA oversight is particularly rigorous for products positioned as infant food, including labeling requirements under 21 CFR and FSMA foreign supplier verification obligations. Importers and brokers should confirm that organic claims are supported by USDA National Organic Program-equivalent certification from the country of origin.
