A member asked:
Accidentally gave my 7 mth old a few honey nut cheerios instead of the regular kind. will she be okay?? botulism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't worry: The baking process that creates the cereal kills any botulism spores that might be present.It is raw honey that can transport these spores to babies gut where they grow and release toxins, not a baked honey product.
