Parents slam Morrisons' new snack for kids - but not everyone agrees

A mum posted her latest find on popular Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargaining UK but was met with a heated debate in the comments.

The snack in question is Fruit Bowl's Dino yogurt covered raisins.

Along with a photo of the packet, she posted: "Dinosaur mad kids? These are super cute!

"Yoghurt covered raisins in the shape of dinosaurs eggs. Found in Morrisons £1.50 for 6 packets I think!"

The post quickly racked up 1.1k likes and 2.2k comments.

One penned: "They’re sooooo good! My nephew didn’t like them cause he’s a bit funny with food so I had them instead and I couldn’t get enough of them".

"My grandson loves these, I believe they do unicorn ones has well". Sue wrote.

Parents took to the comments, some tagging friends sharing the dinosaur themed treat, while others citised the snack, calling it the 'worst thing'.

Golda commented: "Raisins are the worst snack you can give a child. they are soaked in sugar water then when chewed get stuck in the teeth causing decay".

Hetty warned: "Raisins have been added to the list of things child care providers can't give little ones as a choking hazard, and as these have a coated shell it would be more likely. Gone are the days of our parents and grandparents saying what doesn't kill them makes them stronger. I don't find children choking funny, but each to their own!"

But it appeared one child found how to get the best of both.

One mum added: "My little boy eats the yoghurt part then spits out the bloody raisin".

According to Gov.uk, the food safety advice for early years is: "Do not offer raisins as a snack to children under 12 months – although these can be chopped up as part of a meal".

It also adds: "Infants and young children should be seated safely in a highchair or appropriately sized low chair while eating. Infants and young children should never be left alone while they are eating, and staff should be familiar with paediatric first aid advice for children who are choking".
