The following will explain what you should and should not eat during pregnancy. During pregnancy, you should avoid food that has raw and rarely cooked ingredients. These foods have not been pasteurized, meaning they have not gone through the process to kill the germs present. To be safe make sure all of the food you eat is thoroughly cooked. This also means raw cookie dough.
Salmonella can be present in the eggs.
Alcohol is another big no-no during pregnancy. Alcohol has been linked to birth defects. Food safety is important during pregnancy. Therefore, you should be sure to thoroughly wash your fruits and vegetables before preparing. This removes the pesticides and bacteria that may be present on them.
