Moppet Foods, one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing natural baby food brands, has achieved another milestone by launching its products on Amazon for the United Kingdom and European markets. The development comes barely one month after the brand, produced by Frills by Berta, made history as the first Nigerian children’s food company to sell on Walmart USA.
The latest expansion is a major step for Moppet Foods, which was founded by Nigerian entrepreneur and technologist-turned-food innovator, Roberta Oyedokun. With the new launch, families across Europe can now order Moppet products conveniently through the trusted Amazon platform.
In a statement announcing the milestone, Oyedokun described the move as a pivotal moment in Moppet’s journey towards becoming a global household name in natural nutrition. She explained that the goal of the company has always been to make wholesome, naturally sourced foods available to children and families beyond Nigeria’s borders.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Amazon to bring our mission of healthy eating to European homes,” Oyedokun said. “This launch is a testament to the universal appeal of our products and our dedication to providing parents with a healthy, convenient choice for their little ones.”
She explained that Moppet’s line of 100 per cent natural, nutrient-dense products—including Moppet NutriBlend Peanut, Moppet Mixgrain, Moppet Veggies Cereal, and Moppet Nutmeal Cereal—are now available on Amazon stores in the UK and across Europe. According to her, the aim is not only to serve babies and children but also to expand into adult nutrition, particularly for people with swallowing difficulties such as dysphagia. She noted that this category of consumers often struggles to find suitable and healthy meals, and Moppet products will help fill that gap.
To strengthen this plan, Oyedokun revealed that Moppet Foods will be partnering with health institutions in the United Kingdom and European Union. This includes collaboration with the National Health Service (NHS), Speech and Language Therapy groups, and other health and social care agencies. She added that the company had already partnered with Maxipact Healthcare and Global Investments Limited, a UK-registered company, to manage distribution and marketing across the European market.
“This is more than just about selling food,” Oyedokun explained. “It is about making nutrition inclusive and available for everyone, no matter their age or health challenges. Our products are designed to provide nourishment without compromise.”
Back home in Nigeria, Moppet Foods is also expanding its presence to reach more families. The company recently launched its products in three of the country’s biggest retail chains—Grandsquare, Market Square, and Hartleys. With this, more Nigerian parents can now find Moppet products on shelves in addition to existing distribution outlets. Oyedokun noted that this local expansion is a strategic step to solidify Moppet’s market leadership in the baby food industry.
“Our roots are in Nigeria, and expanding our footprint here is deeply important to us,” she said. “By partnering with these prominent retailers, we’re making it easier than ever for local parents to access the nutritious foods they’ve come to trust. This is a win for Nigerian families and a proud moment for our brand.”
Industry watchers believe Moppet Foods’ rapid international growth is a sign of increasing global interest in African-made consumer products, especially in the food sector. With health and nutrition becoming a priority for families worldwide, natural and trusted baby food brands like Moppet are carving a place in competitive markets such as the United States and Europe.
The brand’s unique selling point lies in its commitment to natural, nutrient-rich recipes free from artificial additives. This, according to experts, has boosted its reputation among health-conscious parents in Nigeria and abroad. By leveraging platforms such as Walmart and Amazon, Moppet is also benefiting from the visibility and credibility of global e-commerce giants.
For Oyedokun, the journey of Moppet Foods is not just about business expansion but also about promoting a healthier lifestyle for children and families. She expressed optimism that the partnerships in Europe and the expansion in Nigeria will allow Moppet to impact more lives, both locally and globally.
With its dual growth strategy—deepening its presence in Nigeria while expanding aggressively overseas—Moppet Foods is positioning itself as a trailblazer among African food brands. As demand continues to grow, the company is expected to push further into other markets across Africa, North America, and Europe.
