Information

The ham pâté can be consumed during pregnancy under certain conditions. It is important to choose pâtés made from fresh and unmoved meat or fish to reduce the risk of toxoplasmosis and listeria. Partés based on meat or fish are generally safe to consume during pregnancy, provided you consume them well cooked. It is important to check the labels to ensure that the product has been cooked at a sufficient temperature to kill all harmful bacteria. It is also important to ensure that the product is fresh and not expired. Finally, it is best to consume the ham pâté in small quantities and not to consume it too often. Consumption too frequent can lead to complications during pregnancy.

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