Information

The rillette is a preparation made from meat or salted and smoked fish, mixed with fat and herbs. During pregnancy, it is possible to eat rillette, under certain conditions. First of all, the rillette must be cool, that is to say bought the same day. Then, to avoid the risk of toxoplasmosis, it is advisable to bake it at a temperature of 75 ° C, and to consume it immediately. In addition, it is important not to abuse savory products during pregnancy. It is therefore preferable not to consume too much rillette, but rather to eat various, healthy and nutritious foods. Finally, it is important to find out about the origin of the rillette and to check that the meat or fish used is of quality. Thus, respecting these few rules, it is possible to eat rillette during pregnancy, but in moderation.

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