根因分析
蜂蜜的巴氏杀菌不能可靠地破坏肉毒杆菌孢子；只有高压处理或辐照才能消除它们，而蜂蜜很少经过这种处理；婴儿肉毒杆菌中毒风险仍然存在。
English
Pasteurization of honey does not reliably destroy Clostridium botulinum spores; only high-pressure processing or irradiation can eliminate them, and honey is rarely treated to that extent; infant botulism risk remains.
官方文档

-
Do not give any form of honey (raw, pasteurized, organic, local, or commercial) to infants under 12 months of age. This includes honey in baked goods, cereals, or as a sweetener. Use corn syrup or maple syrup as alternatives if needed.
-
If an infant under 12 months has consumed honey, monitor for signs of infant botulism: constipation, weak cry, poor feeding, drooping eyelids, or muscle weakness. Contact a pediatrician immediately if any symptoms appear. Do not induce vomiting.
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
95% 失败
Raw honey has the same or higher spore load; no evidence that local honey is safer than commercial honey.
-
85% 失败
Botulism spores survive 165°F; they require 250°F (121°C) under pressure for 3 minutes to be destroyed, which would caramelize honey.
-
70% 失败
Baking temperatures (350°F) for 10 minutes may not reach spore-kill temperature in the center of the food; spores can survive.
