if I use a systemic insecticide in my veggie garden and a couple of my crops are not listed on the container as safe to use on, are they

unsafe to eat ? IF I ALREADY APPLIED THE SYSTEMIC INSECTICIDE TO MY GARDEN AND NOW LOOK AT THE LABEL AND I DON’T SEE VEGGIES LISTED AS OK TO APPLY, CAN I STILL EAT THE VEGGIES ?

I would definitely not eat these vegetables! Systemic pesticides, when used in a vegetable garden, are present in the flesh of the vegetables and are not safe for consumption.
