Partially — Some Products Made in USA
Gerber's core product lines are made in the USA in Fremont, MI, but the brand has known exceptions where some products are manufactured overseas. Look for explicit "Made in USA" labeling on individual items.
Where is Gerber made?
Not confirmed by the brand: Gerber started in 1927 at the Gerber family's canning business in Fremont, Michigan, and our record lists Fremont as its production site. But the Gerber pages we could open today do not say where the cereals, purees or puffs we list are made. Gerber is a Nestlé brand.
Gerber does not disclose any imported lines, but none of the nine Gerber products we list states a country of origin on its live listing either. Our earlier research noted that some snacks and formula may come from other US and international facilities, which we could not confirm. Until Gerber names a plant for each product, treat product-level origin as unverified and look for a "Made in" line on the package.
| Product line | Where it's made | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Single-grain cereals (oatmeal, rice) | Not stated by the brand | Mixed |
| 1st and 2nd Foods purees (tubs, variety packs) | Not stated by the brand | Mixed |
| Puffs and Lil' Crunchies snacks | Not stated by the brand | Mixed |
How we checked: On 2026-10-07 we read Gerber's history page and several Gerber product pages (rice cereal, carrot puree, puffs, Lil' Crunchies); none states a manufacturing location, and Gerber's quality, FAQ and about pages blocked our access. We checked all nine live listings on 2026-10-05 and none states a country of origin.
