Are honey graham crackers ok for a 10 month old?

DS is actually 11.5 months now but I probably first gave them to him then. I didn't even think about the honey.

Re: Are honey graham crackers ok for a 10 month old?
Crap.
the honey in the cracker is cooked isn't it?? - so i'm assuming it's fine.
i can't imagine they'd use raw honey on those crackers - read the ingredients to see if it says pasteurized honey.
but to be safe i'd wait - there are so many other options out there and probably healthier ones too....sorry not judgy - just sayin'
Don't worry about it and Kate is right. I didn't read correctly.
Right. Its fine.

I wouldn't worry about it and fed "Honey" Teddy-Grahams to DS when he was able to start crunching crackers.. The honey content is completely and thoroughly cooked through (not that there is much of any actual HONEY in there.
If you look into why the recommendation is there in the first place, it was a piece of "junk science" from the 1950's Russia (population sample of 4, given raw honey, one died)... If the fear of botulism happening was so strong, kids would not be allowed carrots, potatoes, onions, or any other root vegetable until the age of 1 either. The problem with honey for infants is technically when it's unprocessed/comb, not when it's thoroughly cooked and in something however incidentally because the heating process kills the potential for botulism spores...
