Ingredients Analysis (6 found)

bourbon
🚫8/10
Bourbon is an alcoholic beverage and not safe for babies. It poses immediate health risks and should never be in baby consumables.
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
Chocolate
🚨7/10
Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine which can be harmful to babies 6-12 months. It may cause digestive issues and is not recommended in baby food or formula.
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
sugar
3/10
Sugar itself is not poisonous but added sugars should be limited for babies under two. Small natural sugars from fruit or the lactose in formula are expected.
Confidence: HIGH

2/10
Organic fair-trade cocoa butter is a fat derived from cocoa beans. It is generally safe in small amounts but may cause allergies or digestive issues in some infants. Likely used as a fat source or flavor.
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 in baby foods but may cause minor allergies or sensitivities in some infants.
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.

soy lecithin
1/10
Soy lecithin is a common emulsifier in baby foods and formulas and is generally safe for babies 6-12 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.
