honey
i know babies aren't supposed to have honey until a certain age. But can they have it if it is part of a recipe that gets baked?

I wouldnt risk it - botulism spores are very heat resistant.

You are right - I take it back.
For children under 1:
The botulism spores can only be killed by the high heat which can be obtained in a pressure canner. The toxin (that is produced in anaerobic conditions) can only be destroyed by boiling (OSU Botulism FAQs). So technically, honey is not safe for infants even in cooked form such as in baked foods like breads. Botulism spores will NOT be destroyed during and under household cooking methods and temperatures.
