Information

Pregnant women can eat figatellus, if they are well prepared. Figatellus are dried pork sausages that are generally consumed in Corsica and in certain parts of France. Although they contain higher levels of sodium and nitrates compared to other types of sausages, they are generally considered to be sure to consume during pregnancy provided they are well cooked. This means that pregnant women can eat figatellus, but only if they are cooked at a high temperature to kill all the pathogens that could be present. Figatellus should be cooked at an interior temperature of 65 ° C or more. It is also important not to consume sausages which are too cooked or which have signs of deterioration. In conclusion, Figatellus can be consumed during pregnancy, provided that they are well cooked and that they have no signs of deterioration. Pregnant women should also take into account that figatellus are richer in sodium and nitrates than other types of sausages and limit their consumption accordingly.

All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
