Marks & Spencer mince pies contain alcohol - ok to eat cold?

[SarahB88]

I bought some mince pies today without thinking or checking the back and have just seen that the filling contains alcohol.

Would these be ok to eat when pregnant? I’d imagine it’s a very tiny amount but don’t want to take a risk. I’m 18+3 weeks

Tiny amount. I would have been fine with that. Children eat them.

Of course it is, it’s a small amount and they will have been cooked already. Kids eat them, if they weren’t suitable there would be warnings on the box.
Try not to overthink everything, you’ll end up so anxious

Same, wouldn't worry, those Sainsburies taste the difference ones also have a drop of brandy in them. For the price of them they really don't put alcohol to any significant measure at all! Perfectly fine to have

Excellent thanks everyone! Opened one now and can confirm that they are delicious 😂
