Peaches may have a few side effects, which include:
- Allergic reactions: They may cause food allergies due to the presence of certain allergens. Production and storage of dried peaches may involve the use of sulfite as a preservative. Consuming this can lead to allergic reactions including worsened symptoms of asthma, urticaria, bronchial-constrictions, and anaphylaxis.
- Peach seeds: The seeds of stone fruits like apricots and peaches are known to naturally contain cyanide. According to the U.S. National Poison Center, while poisoning from unintentional ingestion is unlikely, caution must be exercised. *
