honey
🚫8/10
Honey is unsafe for babies under 12 months due to risk of infant botulism. Organic status does not reduce this risk. Likely used as a sweetener in baby food.
Organ Risk - Honey can contain spores of Clostridium botulinum, which can cause infant botulism—a serious and potentially fatal illness affecting the nervous system and organs in babies under 1 year old. This risk is well-documented by health authorities.
Confidence: HIGH
BHT
🚨6/10
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant used as a preservative. It has potential toxicity concerns and is not recommended for infants under 1 year in consumables.
Cancer - Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) has shown evidence of being a possible carcinogen in animal studies, with some regulatory agencies listing it as a possible human carcinogen.
Organ Risk - High doses of BHT have been linked to liver and kidney effects in animal studies, raising concerns about organ toxicity with repeated or high exposure.
Hormones - Some studies suggest BHT may have endocrine-disrupting properties, potentially interfering with hormone function.
Builds Up - BHT is a fat-soluble compound and can accumulate in body tissues over time with repeated exposure.
Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to BHT has been associated with chronic health effects in animal studies, though human data is limited.
Banned - BHT is banned or restricted in certain countries for use in food products due to safety concerns.
Confidence: HIGH
almonds
🚨6/10
Almonds pose a choking hazard and allergy risk for babies 6-12 months. They may be included for flavor or nutrition in sweetened cereal but require caution.
No Known Risk - Almonds are generally considered safe for consumption by babies when introduced at the appropriate age and in a suitable form to prevent choking. There is no strong evidence linking almonds to any of the listed risks for the general baby population, except for those with nut allergies, which is a specific medical condition rather than a general risk. Therefore, no immediate health concerns are found based on current research.
