Information

No, pancetta is not recommended during pregnancy because it is considered a transformed product. Processed products may be more likely to contain bacteria that can cause food infections or food poisoning. Pancetta is also rich in sodium and fat, which can contribute to health problems such as hypertension and excessive weight gain. It is therefore preferable to limit the consumption of pancetta during pregnancy. If you choose to eat pancetta during pregnancy, be sure to cook it until it is well cooked and consume it immediately. Also make sure that pancetta is fresh and does not contain potentially dangerous bacteria.

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