smoked salmon whilst pregnant?????

[juice]

is it ok to eat it or not?

Raw so techincally probably not.

I would have when pregnant, but only if in vacuum pack and if I had just opened the packet. Wouldn't eat it the next day.

but it's not raw is it? The smoking is what cooks it.

I ate it! Very happily

It's so good for you and the foetus that I would keep it eating it!

I craved it with both pregnancies! I ate quite a lot of it, I do wish I'd had a cheaper craving though

Fish oils are very good during pregnancy, good for brain development IIRC and smoked fish isn't raw fish really.

My midwife said definitely not. No smoked fish or meat that is smoked instead of being cooked (no parma ham either).

My two said it was fine

I'm sorry juice, I don't know where you'd be able to find the correct answer, opinions seem to vary!

why on earth not?

god i hope so

I have been eating it, and also seem to be developing a craving for it. Especially the yummy smoked salmon parcels in the Tescos finest range. I hope it s Ok.

Found a good link here about what you can and cant eat. Says smoked salmon is considered safe in the UK
