Possible honey for under 1- worth the risk?

[Emmadowns]

Doing some baking tonight for my different children, had different variations of oat bars including our 9 month old in different bowls. One variation had honey for the older children and the one for the 9 month old obviously had no honey however I ended up adding more oats in both and using the same spoon to stir the mixtures (I think it, can't be sure) the bars are in the oven but now im paranoid that the babies ones may have trace amounts of honey in them, would there be a risk or should I just bit give them to baby on the off chance of risk of botulism?

I wouldn’t stress. There’s not a magic ‘honey is safe’ switch on their first birthday, and the risk is tiny to begin with.

*not give them to baby

It will be fine. The chances of an issue are tiny

I wouldn't risk it, they're only 9 months. It's just not worth it.

Only 10 cases of infant botulism were reported between in the UK 1976 and 2009, and of those only one was directly linked to honey. The risk is very very small.

Is it cooked?

I just typed a message about how it will be fine. And it will, but you have to make your own mind up.

I didn't even know about the honey thing. Sounds a bit ridiculous, all the NHS advice on babies and pregnancy is super cautious and not really evidence based.

Thanks for those who wrote back, I know the chances are so so slim but to even take the chance for the sake of some oat bars isn't worth it. I just gave them to my husband for his work teatime treat for this week 😂
