Food recomendations change with each country, or even just doctor.
Milk and milk products are safe after 9 months, unless you have a history of allergy. My DD for example is on Homoginized milk now for verious reasons.
I've never heard anything about citris from my doctor (or anywhere else)
Jarred Strawberry's are safe
I actually was talking to my doctor about this as I was going to give DD real Strawberry's since she did fine with jarred and he told me that because of the way they cook the strawberrys and because the seeds are removed they are safe. Although I was also told 9 months for these as well.
Cooked foods act differently then uncooked a lot of the time. For example if you LO had bread then chances are your LO will be fine with egg yokes and milk.
This is when it becomes a matter of choice for parents. These are recomendation, and they are good ones. Take what your doctor tells you a make your own choice. For us the risk of allergy was so low that we went ahead with them.
Oh and if your LO has a milk based formula they should be fine with milk and milk products, just go slow when YOU are ready. My doctor told me a year at first, but when it became apparent that she wasn't going to take formula I made the choice to go with milk and I am happy with that choise. Now while it says no milk till one year that doesn't include milk products like cheese or yogerts, those are fine at 9 months.
I think they add these because there is such a difference with recomendations that they leave it to the discression of the parents.
Not sure how much help I am here.. but these are my thoughts.
