Ingredients Analysis (6 found)

Chocolate
🚫8/10
Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine which are harmful to infants under 6 months. It is not suitable for baby food or formula at this age.
No Known Risk - Chocolate, when used in small amounts and age-appropriate forms, does not have immediate health concerns for babies based on current research. However, it is not recommended for infants due to caffeine, sugar, and potential allergens, but these do not meet the threshold for the specific risk labels provided.
Confidence: HIGH
bourbon
🚫8/10
Bourbon is an alcoholic beverage and is dangerous for babies 0-6 months. It should never be in consumable baby products.
Brain Development - Alcohol (the main component of bourbon) is known to negatively affect early brain growth and mental development in infants and young children, even in small amounts.
Organ Risk - Alcohol can cause liver and kidney damage, especially in babies whose organs are still developing and are much more sensitive to toxins.
Immune system - Alcohol consumption can weaken or disrupt the developing immune system in infants, making them more susceptible to infections.
Metabolism - Alcohol interferes with normal metabolic processes in babies, who cannot efficiently break down or eliminate alcohol from their bodies.
Breast Milk - Alcohol is known to pass into breast milk and can be consumed by nursing infants, posing risks to their health and development.
Long-Term Risk - Early exposure to alcohol is linked to long-term health effects, including developmental delays and increased risk of behavioral and cognitive problems.
Confidence: HIGH
sugar
⚠️5/10
Added sugar is not recommended for babies under six months. It is not acutely toxic but can harm nutrition and encourage sweet preference and later health issues.
ADHD/ADD - High sugar intake has been linked in some studies to increased hyperactivity and attention issues in children, though evidence is mixed.
Organ Risk - Excessive sugar consumption is associated with increased risk of fatty liver disease and can stress the pancreas in children.
Long-Term Risk - Chronic high sugar intake in early life is linked to increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome later in life.
Metabolism - High sugar intake can negatively affect how the body processes nutrients and is linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disturbances.
Confidence: HIGH
cocoa butter
✅3/10
Organic fair-trade cocoa butter is generally safe as a fat source but may pose allergy risk or digestive issues in 0-6 month infants. Used as an emollient or fat in some foods.
No Known Risk - Cocoa butter is widely used in foods and topical products and is generally recognized as safe for consumption and skin contact, including for babies. There is no strong evidence linking cocoa butter to any of the listed risks when used as a consumable ingredient.
Confidence: HIGH
vanilla beans
✅2/10
Vanilla beans are generally safe in small amounts as flavoring but may cause allergies or irritation in sensitive infants. Used for flavor in baby foods.
No Known Risk - Vanilla bean is widely used as a flavoring in foods and is generally recognized as safe for consumption, including by babies, when used in typical culinary amounts. There is no credible scientific evidence linking vanilla bean to any of the listed health risks for babies.
Confidence: HIGH
soy lecithin
✅1/10
Soy lecithin is a common emulsifier in baby foods and formulas and is generally safe for infants 0-6 months with very low allergenic risk.
No Known Risk - Soy lecithin is widely used in foods and infant formulas, and current research does not show immediate health concerns or significant risks for babies when consumed in typical amounts. Allergic reactions are rare, and there is no strong evidence linking it to hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects in infants.
