Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsCommercial honey is safe with precautions during pregnancy when consumed in moderation. While honey is dangerous for infants under one year, adult digestive tracts safely neutralize Clostridium botulinum spores, protecting both mother and fetus. Both ACOG and the NHS confirm that honey is safe for pregnant adults, though its high natural sugar content requires portion control. Use a teaspoon to sweeten warm ginger tea or oatmeal.
How to read this
During pregnancy you need more of certain nutrients each day, like folate, iron and choline. Each bar shows how much of that daily amount 100 g of Honey provides. 100% means 100 g alone covers the whole day; smaller numbers show its share. A ✓ marks 100% or more.
