Honey during pregnancy

Honey is not a routine pregnancy prohibition for the pregnant person, although honey should not be given to a baby under one year.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Use it as an ordinary sweet food. If diabetes or blood-sugar management affects your pregnancy, ask how sweet foods fit your individual plan.

What changes the answer

  • Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
  • How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
  • The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

General guidance

When to get individual help

This is a general pregnancy baseline, not personal clearance. Change course and ask for advice if symptoms, complications or an individual care plan make the situation different.
