Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 In California in the late 1970s, researchers9 analyzed 555 samples of soil, household dust, cereals, baby foods, canned goods, sugar, corn syrup, honey and commercial formulas. Except in the samples of honey and soil, no spores were detected.9 In a study10 performed in New York, no spores were found in any of the 236 products that were tested. According to microbiologic testing, up to 25 percent of honey products have been found to contain spores.11 A history of honey consumption is seen in 15 percent of the botulism cases reported to the CDC.5,12 As a result, honey should not be given to infants younger than one year.
