Sally Gerber (born 1927) is the daughter of Daniel Frank Gerber who established the baby food enterprise Gerber Products Company.[1]
Sally Gerber was ill as a baby, and when she was seven months old, her pediatrician recommended a diet of fruits and vegetables which her mother prepared for her daily.[2] Her mother Dorothy soon grew tired of hand-straining fruits and vegetables every day. She turned to her husband "Dan", owner of the Fremont Canning Company along with his father Frank Daniel Gerber, for help.[3]
