Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation:
1. Although honey can contain botulism spores that cannot be detoxified by the infant younger than 1 year old, it does not cause an allergic reaction.
2. Carrots, beets, and spinach contain nitrates and should not be given before 4 months of age.
3. The addition of pork is delayed until the infant is 8 to 10 months old because meats are hard to digest.
4. Cow's milk, eggs, and peanuts are foods that have been associated with food allergies.
