Smoked salmon/supermarket sushi

[BlueSky57]

Just wondering what is the deal with smoked salmon & supermarket sushi at the moment? Are you eating it when pregnant?

I am craving it as I thought I wasn’t allowed it. Then I read conflicting advice online & ended up buying a sushi meal deal from Sainsburys (pics attached). I then realised it contains wild fish & 2.5% soft cheese, not just smoked salmon… do I have to bin it? 😫

I am nearly 21 weeks pregnant would ask my midwife but she’s hopeless, I don’t have a number to contact her & I’ve only spoken to her for 90 seconds on the phone 🙄

This was sent to me by my midwife four weeks ago, I don’t really like fish so it didn’t affect me. Unsure if it’s still the advice.

Yeah unfortunately raw and smoked fish is a no-no. It's all about risk, though, so at the end of the day it's your choice.

The NS advice has changed recently to say you should probably avoid it. I'm gutted as icould realy go for smoked salmon and cream chese bagel right now! www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/keeping-well/foods-to-avoid/

Aw thank you all. Thought some of the advice saying I could eat it was too good to be true 😂

@Cakecakecheese that’s definitely one of the first things I want after I give birth!!!

I think in general smoked fish is fine. Unfortunately, there was a listeria outbreak linked to smoked salmon a few months ago, so we are now supposed to not eat it.

Is the sushi advice new? I was last pregnant a couple of years ago and sure it was fine as long as proper sushi grade fish. So sad!
