Hello, hope someone can help and sorry if this has been asked before. I am 10 weeks pregnant and had a huge craving for lasagne so DH bought a pre-made one from Tesco. Just checked the ingredients before putting in the oven and it has red wine in it. Is this ok to eat? I've read online that the alcohol is evaporated during cooking but most of the guidance online seems to only cover stews which are cooked for ages. Please help, I have been looking forward to my lasagne the whole day

It will be absolutely fine. There will be no alcoholic content at all. Otherwise there would be a warning not to sell/feed it to children.

Exactly this. And warnings to drivers / people from varying religions too

If nothing else, how big is the lasagne and how much wine do you actually think went into it?

Thanks everyone
@PotteringAlong - it serves 4 people. I've eaten the lasagne before pre-pregnancy and have never been able to taste the alcohol
