Information

During pregnancy, it is important to follow a healthy and balanced diet. Dry sausage can be consumed during pregnancy, but in moderation. Indeed, it contains transformed meat which can be a source of bacteria and parasites, in particular Listeria, which can be dangerous for the baby. It is therefore recommended not to consume it more than once a week. Dry sausage can also contain salt and nitrite, additives that can be harmful to the baby. It is therefore important to consume dry quality sausages, without nitrite and with as little salt as possible. In addition, it is advisable to cook them well and serve them with vegetables to bring them additional nutrients. In conclusion, dry sausage can be consumed during pregnancy, but it is important to control its quality and consume it in moderation.
