Honey

Raw

Manuka is best but can be expensive

Pasteurisation? Homogenisation? Raw is best: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/raw-honey-vs-regular

Honey should not be given to or consumed by children under one year old. This is because it may contain clostridium botulinum bacteria endospores. These endospores may colonise the gut with clostridium botulinum bacteria which produces botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), which is the most potent and deadly (neuro)toxin known to humans. This neurotoxin can lead to infrant botulism, a rare but potentially fatal illness.
