Dear MOSTA parents, This letter is to inform you that while participating in the Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Program, students were given the opportunity to try fresh kiwi and a few of the students experienced a mild reaction to eating the skin of the kiwi. Each child was evaluated prior to leaving the school building.   The skin of kiwi fruit contains a natural chemical which can cause irritation in their mouths, lips, and palates quickly after eating one. This is a common moderate response in children and adults.     If your child has ongoing discomfort, please contact your primary care provider for evaluation and testing.    We appreciate your support.  Please contact me if you have any questions.    Sincerely,    Tammi Davis, BSN, CSN-PEL, RN  Health Coordinator  Michelle Obama School of Technology & the Arts 708-668-9674
