The full fat soft cheese will be processed like philsdelphia so thats fine and the eggs will be pasturised because its supermarket.

The uncooked egg thing is to protect against salmonella. This is why its advised against eating homemade mayo, where as shop bought will be pasturised so shop bought will be fine!

Eat the cake!!!

Cream is always pasturised (unless you've gone to a gormet shop or possibly a farm who make their own but they will say so if not) the only things you normally find unpasturised milk products in are some cheeses so if it's not regular british cheese (like cheddar) then check the label.

Hello, can anyone advise me on this please?
I've checked numerous lists about eating parmesan cheese and they say it's fine to eat. I've just realised that Sainsbury's fresh grated parmesan is unpasterised??!! I've been eating this in risotto when cooked, so because it's been heated is that ok? I want to make a pasta dish today and not sure if I should use it or not.

Thanks.

Hi Kimby

Unless you have a nut allergy or a family history of nut allergies then it is fine to eat all kinds of nuts during pregnancy, they are good for you. The guidelines on eating nuts and peanuts changed a few years ago when it was decided that they aren't a risk unless you have an allergy to them, if that is the case you wouldn't be eating them anyway.

Now get out those crunchy nut cornflakes and tuck in! :yumyum:

I think the current guideline is that if your partner has a nut allergy, you shouldn't eat nuts, as this could increase the risk of an already prone baby developing a nut allergy. If you have a nut allergy you wouldn't be eating them anyway as Polly says..
They changed the guidelines when they realised that in parts of the world where nut consumption is really high, (SE Asia in particular), nut allergies are much less common.

Fish....

Hiya
just wondered if someone could put my mind at rest before i ring the nurse (they'd be like...'not her again!!..lol)

I know we have to stay clear of shell fish like prawns ect. but is it safe to eat cod, haddock or salmon in say fish cakes, fishfingers or fish from the fish and chip shop. i'm just worried because when i got my BFP last week the nurse said she personally stayed away from all fish but i really fancy some fish fingers but wouldn't want to do anything that would harm LO....

I've looked on google but am confused.

Thanks x x x x

Fish is fine as long as it's well cooked so fish fingers and fishcakes are fine. You should avoid swordfish and not have too much tuna as they can have high mercury levels but other fish is fine.
I'm having lots of fishcakes at the minute!

Hey BooBoo,
Fish is usually something recommended to eat in pregnancy as lots of good omega oils etc. Even shellfish is fine if cooked properly by all accounts (I've certainly been eating prawns), I guess the risk is food poisening so I probably wouldn't eat it from a kebab van but with ds fishfingers ended up being my standard breakfast!

i bought some yogurts from morrisons, they are 'the best' range. as seen as though calcium is good i thought it was a good idea to get some. but it doesn't say pasturised on the pot?? is it safe to eat still? surely supermarket yogurt would be pasturised ?o(

I suppose that something like smoked salmon is officially 'raw fish' but haddock and mackerel and both eaten cooked so are fine.

The debate here is whether there's bacteria inside the soft whip ice cream machine and whether ice cream is made using unpasterurised ingredients.

First, McDonalds are very good at cleaning their equipment. They're so big that if they made someone ill through lack of hygiene then their legal bills would be massive. They have a buisiness to protect and strict hygiene protocols.

They only use pasteurised ingredients because again, unpasteurised ingredients would pose a problem for babies, children, elderly people and pregnant women. That would make their product dangerous for a MASSIVE percentage of their customers and therefore, they would never use unpasteurised ingredients.

So, maybe there is a small risk of the equipment carrying one escaped bacteria but then if you've ever touched a door handle and then put your finger in your mouth then you're at significantly higher risk. You're also at much more risk of getting fat and your teeth falling out than you are of contracting anthing sinister from a lowly milkshake :snigger:

in what sense will it affect my pregnancy? will it harm the baby? im 10 weeks now and went without my prawn cocktail starter for xmas day and new years day (it KILLED me though) thinking i was being dead good. and now ive just read about smoked salmon being raw? pfft. is there anything delicious i CAN eat! lol

Hi Mindy

I've eaten smoked salmon a few times during my last pregnancy and this one, I have never had any problems and have always believed it to be a safe food to eat and have never been told any different. It certainly isn't in any of the list of foods to avoid during pregnancy that I've been given.

This is what it says about smoked salmon on the Food Standards Agency website

Quoted

Some raw fish used to make sushi, such as smoked salmon, doesn't need to be frozen before it's used. This is because smoking kills any worms in the fish. Other methods, such as salting or pickling, are also used to make raw foods safe to eat.

I hope this puts your mind at ease.

Hi Mindy

Here is a bit more about smoked salmon on the Food Standards Agency website

Quoted

Some countries advise pregnant women not to eat cold meats or smoked fish because of the risk of listeria. In the UK, we don't advise women to avoid these products because the risk is very low. The risk of listeria is much higher with cheeses such as Camembert, Brie or chevre (a type of goats' cheese), and others that have a similar rind, or pâté, which you shouldn't eat during pregnancy. However, if you are concerned, you might also choose to avoid cold meats and smoked fish while you are pregnant.

I think you've got to use a bit of common sense about all this what you can and can't eat malarkey. If you eat at a respectable pub where the food is known to be good the chances are the food hygiene standards are high (probably better than most peoples food hygiene standards at home), you are at very low risk of anything happening to you or your unborn baby if you eat there. Even if you were to eat an unwashed salad you or your unborn baby are very unlikely to become ill from it.

A green edged crisp really, really is nothing to worry about. Its just a slightly green potato that has been used, it wont do you any harm at all.

There is no reason if you have no allergy to nuts that you should avoid your favorite Ferrero Rocher, go scoff them all. The most likely thing thing it will do any damage to is your thighs! So enjoy!

Deli Meats yes or no ??

Hi

I am just over 5 weeks, and im trying to learn what i can and can not eat?

I came across quite a few articles saying that pregnant women should avoice eating any deli meats unless they are heated before eating them

Is this right ?

I am wondering if this includes sandwiches from bakers etc - because thats my usual lunch, gosh what will i eat lol

i cant see this mentioned on FZ anywhere so im wondering if this is one to ignore ?

Am i being over causious? i just want to get it right ?o(

Thankyou for any advise

Hi Flic - yep had had a look at that very usful tread i just couldnt find anything on deli meats

Thanks Paris - so i can carry on going to my local bakerys for my lunch time samdwich then ?

Maybe by saying avoid deli meats it just means dont by from th actual "deli counter" at the supermarkets i was thinking dont eat cold pre sliced meats ??

thanks again rache xx
