Your baby’s food may contain potentially harmful pesticides – but the Environmental Working Group’s decades of fighting to protect children’s health have helped eliminate the most toxic threats from these products.
That’s the conclusion of new EWG research, which detected nine pesticides in dozens of non-organic, or conventional, baby foods. The study comes almost 30 years after we issued a groundbreaking report, in 1995, investigating pesticides in the food that infants and very young children eat.
Babies and young children are particularly vulnerable to potential health harms from consuming food that contains residues of agricultural pesticides.
