Indeed, the children are safe. There has never in the entire history of food testing of produce and fruit by EPA, USDA, and USFDA been a single occurrence of a detection of methyl iodide in a food product or in components of a food product. Methyl iodide is not applied to the fruit or produce at all--and its use well before crops are planted and before there are farm workers in the fields makes it possible to avoid sprays on produce and fruit of other pesticidal products during the growing, fruiting, and harvesting season.
