Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

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

🚨6/10

No Known Risk - Brown sugar syrup is primarily composed of sugar and water, with no evidence linking it to specific health risks such as irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other listed concerns when used as a food ingredient. There are no known immediate health concerns for babies based on current research, aside from general recommendations to limit added sugars in infant diets.
Confidence: HIGH
natural flavor
⚠️5/10
Natural flavor is a vague label that can cover many ingredients. It is used to make products taste better. For most 6 to 12 month olds small amounts are unlikely to cause harm, but the lack of disclosure increases the risk of allergy or intolerance.
No Known Risk - Natural flavor is a broad term for flavoring substances derived from natural sources. While the exact composition can vary, current research and regulatory reviews have not identified immediate health risks for babies when used in typical amounts in consumable products. There is no strong evidence linking natural flavors to specific health risks in infants, so an abundance of caution suggests it is generally considered safe.
Confidence: MEDIUM

⚠️5/10
Raisins can pose a choking hazard for 6-12 month babies and have high natural sugar content. They may be included for sweetness and texture in sweetened cereal.
