A member asked:
Baby under 1yr. is honey smoked lunch meat cooked long/hot enough to kill the bacteria in the honey? would heating it for 1 minute in microwave work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A small amount of food microwaved for one minute would kill the bacteria. If you can see steam coming out of the food, it should be safe. Make sure to cool the food before feeding it to the baby, The inside of the food may stay hot for longer time. Get the child vaccinated as recommended by the pediatrician.
