Why would it be a no? When I was pregnant I would have avoided undercooked meat or fish etc but you would have had to prize my cold dead hands from a salad bar!

I don't see why you couldn't eat that? There really isn't much you're advised to avoid during pregnancy.

Eh? It's perfectly fineConfused

I don't get why you can't either.Or wait.... mayonnaise?

katmarie · 11/09/2019 18:44

I cant see any reason why you would have to avoid them. Theres nothing in the nhs guidelines to suggest they are in any way risky. So I would go for it.

katmarie · 11/09/2019 18:46

@Atlasta the mayo will be commercially made stuff so I wouldn't worry, it's going to basically be the stores own brand stuff same as on the shelf, most likely, which is fine.

It's fine Confused

I avoid food where I don’t know how long it’s been sat out for. Some countries (US) recommend avoiding pre-prepared salads. Listeria related I think.

ShirleyPhallus · 11/09/2019 18:48

I’d avoid it based on the number of sneezers and fingerers I see hanging around those salad bars but that’s no different to pre-pregnancy Grin

Rubberyduck · 11/09/2019 18:48

Hmm but aren't deli things a no no. So I would have to avoid things with meat in? Something to do with not knowing how long it's been sat there?

I'm talking about the self service scoop bit.

I am very happy to be told I have been given bad advice 😋😋

By deli meats they mean things that have been cured rather than cooked like chorizo or Parma ham. And those are fine if cooked through.

Wonderful. Spicy chicken pasta here I come!
