40 Popular Foods Children Shouldn’t Be Fed

8. Try not to give your children canned tomatoes.

Many households have canned foods like green beans, soup, and tomatoes, but it's important to understand the risks associated with these products for children's development. Canned foods can contain higher levels of the toxic element bisphenol A (BPA) compared to other packaging materials. Since BPA is present in the can lining, it can leach into the food. This chemical can have detrimental effects on a child's development, including their reproductive system. To minimize exposure, consider alternatives such as using tomato sauce from glass jars or fresh tomatoes, and opting for fresh vegetables instead of canned ones.
