Information
Ham is an important source of protein for pregnant women. However, Herta ham is not recommended during pregnancy. Indeed, the Herta ham is salty and contains nitrates, which are conservatives, and nitrites, which can cause damage to the fetus. Nitrites and nitrates are also known to increase the risk of cancer in adults. In addition, Herta products often contain additives such as dyes and taste enhancers, which can be harmful to the unborn baby. It is therefore recommended that pregnant women avoid consuming Herta ham during pregnancy. Pregnant women must opt for healthier and more natural protein sources such as fish, eggs, tofu, vegetables and dairy products. It is important to consume nutrients during pregnancy to ensure the proper development of the fetus.
All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
