Commercial baby foods are an easy alternative to home-made meals especially for working parents in a nuclear family therefore it is imperative to determine the nitrate and nitrite content in commercially available baby foods varieties marketed in Fiji. A total of 108 baby food samples were analyzed for nitrate and nitrite using our standardized Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) technique with colorimetric detection technique employing sulphanilamide and N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride as colour reagents where the samples throughput was 38 h-1. The commercial baby food varieties chosen comprised of vegetables, cereals, fruits and milk. The study shows that the nitrate content of the baby foods studied ranges from 2.10 - 220.67 mg kg-1 whereas the nitrite content ranges from 0.44 - 3.67 mg kg-1. Typical recoveries of spiked nitrate residues ranged from 92 to 106%. The study shows that the average nitrate content of commercially available baby foods in Fiji descends below the maximum level proposed by the European Union Legislation.
