The only exceptions are the radiation-sterilized manukas such as 
Medihoney. No viable Clostridium spores, no risk of infant botulism. We 
still don't want to feed anything but human milk to babies under 6 mos 
old, but incidental ingestion of a tiny bit of Medihoney is not a risk.

> Trader Joe's sometimes carries Manuka honey.  Beware of counterfeit honey, though.  A lot of products labeled as honey or manuka honey are adulterated with sugar syrups or non-manuka honey.
