Children under one should not be given honey as it can cause infant botulism.

The claim that children under one year old should not be given honey due to the risk of infant botulism is well-supported by multiple sources. Honey can contain Clostridium botulinum spores, which may lead to infant botulism in babies under one year whose digestive systems are still developing. This is corroborated by health authorities, such as the California Department of Public Health and the Singapore Food Agency, which advise against giving honey to infants. The information is consistent with known medical guidance and carries high credibility. Therefore, the claim is factual.
