Information
It is possible to eat meat sausages during pregnancy, but you should take certain precautions. Meat sausages may contain bacteria that can cause potentially dangerous food infections. It is therefore important to pay very attention to how you prepare and consume meat sausages. Always be sure to buy them from a reliable source, cook them completely and consume them immediately after cooking. Try to avoid meat sausages which are very salty or rich in nitrite. These sausages may contain high quantities of salt and nitrate, which can increase the risk of health problems for you and your baby. If you decide to eat meat sausages, be sure to wash your hands well before and after handling the meat and baking the sausages well until they are well cooked.
