Information
Consumption of pâté or terrine with mushrooms during pregnancy is possible, but should be limited. Indeed, fungi are known to contain toxins that can be harmful to the fetus and the unborn baby. It is therefore important that fungi are well cooked before being consumed, in order to limit the risk of toxins. In addition, certain types of cold meats, including pâté and mushroom terrine, may contain nitrates and nitrites. These additives can be harmful to the fetus and the baby to be born if they are consumed in large quantities. It is therefore important to check the list of ingredients before consuming cold meats or dishes based on mushrooms. Finally, it is important to take care to wash your hands well after handling mushrooms, as they can contain bacteria and viruses that can be harmful to the fetus and the unborn baby. In summary, the consumption of pâté or terrine with mushrooms during pregnancy is possible, but should be limited. It is important to check the list of ingredients and take care to wash your hands well after handling mushrooms.
