Honey

So I’ve just made a gammon for the first time since my baby has been doing BLW and I stupidly put honey and mustard on it. Is she able to have some or shall I cook her something else?

How old? Because of the honey; Under a year, make something else. Over a year, it's fine.

Depends on the age but I’m pretty sure babies under 1 aren’t meant to have any honey

Under a year, make something else. The botulism risk is too great

No honey to any child under the age of 1, if they are over 1 years old it's absolutely fine

She’s 8 nearly 9 months

I thought that was the case just wasn’t sure if it was cooked in it if it was still the same.

I’d make something else. Honey carries to much bacteria for infants under 1 years old

I’ll do her a sausage or a chicken breast or something instead. I just didn’t even think I just did it how I would always do it🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

No, still a risk even if cooked as the bacteria that poses a risk survives cooking/freezing. Once they're a year their gut biome is developed enough to not pose a threat

Eh I mean yes something else if you can. But for our kids we completely forgot sometimes like honey ham at thanksgiving or had it in some teriyaki chicken we have. So they definitely had it but we stopped when we remembered. If she’s already had some they will most likely be fine. But if you can make something else then do that

No I’ve done it for dinner tonight so she’s not had it yet. I’ll defo do her something else. Thank you all.
