Original Note:
Babies under one year of age should never be given honey, even in cooked foods. This is because honey can contain the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which can cause infant botulism, a potentially life-threatening disease. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/foodborne-illness-and-disease/illnesses-and-pathogens/botulism#:~:text=What%20is-,Infant%20Botulism,-%3F https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/weaning-and-feeding/foods-to-avoid-giving-babies-and-young-children/#:~:text=food%20labels.-,Honey,-Occasionally%2C%20honey%20contains https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/botulism#:~:text=Parents%20and%20caregivers https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-safety-vulnerable-populations/infant-botulism.html
