Information

Pâté in a crust is a culinary specialty which can be tasty and very coveted, but unfortunately, it is not highly recommended for pregnant women. Although pâté in a crust is considered relatively sure to eat, it can contain dangerous bacteria for pregnant women, especially Listeria. These bacteria cause a known infection under the name of Listeriaosis, which can cause serious complications for the mother and the unborn baby. Symptoms of Listeriaosis may include headaches, chills, fever and abdominal pain and can also cause premature miscarriage or delivery. Therefore, it is better to avoid crusting during pregnancy. Pregnant women can consume minced meat foods, such as burgers, sausages, minced steaks and minced mixtures, provided they are well cooked. These foods should be cooked at an internal temperature of at least 71 ° C and verified using a kitchen thermometer. In summary, although the pâté in a crust is relatively sure to eat, it is better to avoid this product during pregnancy due to its potentially dangerous bacteria. It is important to follow the recommended food guidelines for pregnant women and well cook all minced meat foods to reduce the risk of infection.
