Do You Know What’s Really in Your Lactation Cookies Choc Chip?
Lactation cookies choc chip can be a delicious way to support your milk supply—but not all choc chips are created equal, and some can hide ingredients you’d never expect.
When you’re breastfeeding, your body is under enormous demand. It’s natural to reach for quick comfort foods (hello, chocolate 🍫) to get through the long days and nights. And yes—you absolutely deserve treats. But what matters most is choosing ones that nourish you and your baby without sneaky additives.
That’s where ingredient quality really matters. Many choc chips on supermarket shelves are made with hidden anti-caking agents, aluminium compounds, bad fats, and artificial flavours. These are the little extras that don’t make it onto the label when choc chips are added into a cookie mix—but they’re still there.
👉 Instead, choosing a transparent, natural option (like our Choc Chip Lactation Cookies) ensures you get the sweetness you crave without the hidden nasties.
What Are Anti-Caking Agents?
Anti-caking agents are chemicals added to powders (like choc chips, salt, or drink mixes) to stop clumping. They often contain compounds of phosphate, carbonate, silicate—or even aluminium.
The problem? High exposure to aluminium has been linked to kidney and bone damage, muscle weakness, digestive issues, and even potential neurological concerns.
The tricky part is that because anti-caking agents are already in the choc chips themselves, you won’t see them listed on the cookie’s final ingredient label. That makes it hard for mums to know what they’re really eating.
Why This Matters for Breastfeeding Mums
When you’re choosing snacks while breastfeeding, you want the reassurance that every ingredient is doing more good than harm. Sneaky additives may not support your recovery—or your baby’s developing system.
That’s why at Nella Vosk, our Choc Chip Lactation Cookies are made with premium choc chips whose sub-ingredients are clearly listed and free from hidden anti-caking agents.
They’re delicious, nourishing, and a safe way to satisfy those chocolate cravings while still supporting your milk supply.
