About APPLES

'100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC APPLES' refers to apples that are grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), adhering to organic farming standards. These apples can be found in supermarkets, organic grocery stores, and farmers' markets. Regarding pets, organic apples are generally safe for dogs and cats when given in moderation. The flesh of the apple can be a healthy treat due to its fiber and vitamins. However, apple seeds and core should be removed before feeding because they contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can be toxic if consumed in large amounts. Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing new foods to your pet's diet.
