What about Honey in baked goods is it safe for small children?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if it is safe to give honey to a child if it is baked

in a recipe such as in a sugar replacement for cookies etc...?

 

Thanks!

I'm sure it is if you use the raw, organic honey.

Yes in the process of cooking any germs or bactera in

the honey would be killed so it is good. The heating

process actualy pasturises the honey.

not be afraid of friends; the worst they can do is betray you. Be afraid of the

indifferent; they do not kill or betray. But only because of their silent

agreement, betrayal and murder exist on earth. "

" Spores are heat resistant, and boiling for 10 minutes or heating to 176ºC

(348ºF) for 30 minutes is the minimum requirement to kill the spores. "

" Botulism spores are found throughout nature -- in soil, in dust, and on the

unwashed surfaces of unpeeled fruits and vegetables. The spores are present

in about 10 percent of the samples of honey tested. These spores are tough

to kill. They are quite heat-resistant; some can survive boiling for

several hours. "

" The peak age at which babies are susceptible is when they are 2 to 4 months

old. They may be at risk from about 1 week until 9 to 11 months. This is

the reason babies under one year old should not be fed honey. Because the

spores are so heat-resistant, there is a theoretical risk for babies eating

even processed foods containing honey.... "

 

[...]

 

" Sometimes honey is pasteurized -- usually it is not. Pasteurizing does not

reliably destroy botulism spores. Some honey is filtered; some is not.

Filtering does not reliably remove botulism spores. "
