Square Baby, a San Francisco Bay Area-based baby food company that delivers fresh, ready meals has entered into a multi-year partnership with Vericool Inc. to use its compostable insulation and recyclable cold-chain packaging as a replacement for expanded polystyrene.

Developed by dietitians and pediatricians to support child health and development, Square Baby’s ready meals meet 100% of the daily nutrition needs for babies ages four to six months, six to eight months, and eight to 12 months old. Square Baby currently ships its meals in Vericoolers throughout the Bay Area. Square Baby is also shipped in Vericoolers to other California locations as well as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. The company has plans to expand distribution.
