The Top Food Allergens Kids Need To Avoid

Organophosphate (OG) Pesticides

While not a true food allergy, pesticides are dangerous to growing and developing children. Organophosphate pesticides are found in conventional or non-organic foods and have been linked to neurological damage in children. Symptoms may include seizures, paralysis, and tremors. They are found in many foods children frequently eat such as apples, oranges, apple and orange juice, bananas, carrots, peaches, pears, potatoes, and tomatoes. The best way to avoid organophosphate pesticides is to buy organic produce whenever possible.
