Coleslaw!

[chelabel]

Hey all sorry if this a stupid question but I've been told I can't eat this from a friend! and wondering what you all think as I have been eating it! It's Lidl deluxe creamy coleslaw! Sorry again if it's a stupid question but my friend made me worry!

Your friend is wrong.

Yeah it's fine to eat. She's probably saying

Is it not you just need to watch of you make it with real mayo or something with raw eggs

I mean they don’t recommend Mayo because it’s raw egg, however you’ll be fine in moderation, same as everything else they advise you to avoid.

Sorry sent too soon! She's probably saying you can't because of the mayo - advice is to be careful with fresh or homemade mayo. But shop bought stuff is fine.

I had some people constantly telling me I couldn't eat loads of things while Pg. Usually when I was cheerfully about to tuck in.

Go ahead OP.

NHS website says you can eat mayonnaise if the eggs are British lion eggs.

Yes it's fine. Shop-bought/mass-produced mayo is fine. The NHS advice is for mayo where unpasteurised eggs have been used, so homemade or artisan (and even then it's fine with Lion eggs).

Tell her to stop policing what you're eating! Enjoy it.

Also just stick to the NHS food advice. It's well laid out and tells you everything you need to know. Anything else that people 'advise' you about that isn't on there doesn't need to be followed.

There are a lot of websites with dubious advice or aimed at pregnant women in other countries, particularly the US, where they have very different food standards.

Thanks all I thought I could! Yeh people always telling me you can't eat this you can't eat that! It really does my head in and makes me worry! Thank you all so much 💖
