Whether selecting a family car, deciding where to live or just choosing what to watch on TV, parents everywhere tend to share the same credo- nothing's too good for my kids.
Ensuring the safety and wholesomeness of foods for infants and children is no exception.
But public confidence in food safety for the nation's 63 million youngsters is unsteady. As one recent example, the Alar controversy panicked many parents into pouring out apple juice and school officials into banning the sale of apples from school-lunch programs.
And according to a recent poll by the Center for Produce Quality, 72 percent of Americans believe pesticide regulations do not sufficiently account for children's health risks.
In the wake of such concerns, child health advocates, environmentalists, the food industry and others are working with federal authorities to bring the best scientific evaluation possible to pesticides and other food-related risks to children.
