Are chocolate products safe for consumption by toddlers?

There are no definite rules regarding whether chocolate is safe for toddlers to consume. Recommendations from nutritionists and pediatricians typically suggest that chocolate should be introduced to a child's diet when they are around 2 years old. The reason behind this recommendation is the presence of caffeine and sugar in chocolate products. Some chocolate products also contain allergens such as milk, nuts, and wheat.
