Surprised the article doesn't mention honey, which if you're a new parent, is an important thing to know about, on this topic. To quote the US CDC: "Honey can contain the bacteria that causes infant botulism, so do not feed honey to children younger than 12 months. Honey is safe for people 1 year of age and older."
Despite this being reasonably well-known, usually, you still get idiocy like this: https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/honey-pacifiers-suspected-texas-infant-botulism-cases https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-informatio...

The stability is simply because it's too dry for microbial activity. I'm mentioning this because it's a common misconception in fermentation communities.
