We know that infants, toddlers and young children are more susceptible to toxins than adults due to their smaller body weight and rapid growth. Foods with potential chemical residue or potential biological hazard, such as antibiotic or hormone residue or genetically modified organisms which produce a pesticide within the plant should contain an informative label so that parents can shop safely for their young children. The simple phrase “Zero Pesticide” would be ideal.
Therefore, we request that the FDA require through regulation that foods which contain zero pesticide be thus labelled and be randomly sampled for complaince with the labelling.
Why is this important?
Parents deserve an easy way to know that food is safe for their children.
