Information
Garlic cooked sausage is a food that can be consumed during pregnancy, but with certain precautions. It is important to check the nutritional labeling to ensure that the garlic cooked sausage does not contain more than 0.5 % of nitrites or nitrates. Nitrites and nitrates are preservatives who can be harmful to the fetus. In addition, it is important to make sure that the garlic cooked sausage is well cooked. The consumption of poorly cooked products can lead to the risk of bacterial infections, and therefore the health risks of the baby. Finally, the sausage cooked in garlic is rich in sodium and fat, and it is therefore important to consume it in moderation. It is advisable to limit your consumption to one or two pieces per week. In conclusion, it is possible to eat garlic cooked sausage during pregnancy, provided you respect some precautions: check nutritional labeling, make sure that the sausage is well cooked, and consume it in moderation.
