Information

During pregnancy, it is possible to eat chicken rillettes, but only under certain conditions. First of all, it is important to verify that the deadline for consumption is still valid and that the product has been properly preserved before its opening. It should also be ensured that chicken rillettes do not contain a Listeria, a type of bacteria that can be dangerous for the health of the baby. A simple way to check it is to boil the rillettes for 5 minutes before consuming them. For rillettes that contain pieces of chicken, it is important to check that they are well cooked. Once all these precautions have been taken, you can enjoy the chicken rillettes during pregnancy.
