Information

Smoke sausage is not the best food choice for pregnant women. Although it is rich in protein, it contains high levels of salt and nitrites, which are not recommended during pregnancy. Consumption of smoked sausage during pregnancy can increase the risk of complications in the development of the fetus. Nitrites can reduce oxygen available for the fetus, which can cause poor growth and development delay. In addition, nitrites can increase the risk of cancer for the unborn baby. In addition, smoked sausage is rich in salt, which can cause water retention and high blood pressure in pregnant women. High levels of salt can also cause cramps and muscle pain. It is therefore preferable that pregnant women avoid consuming smoked sausage. It is best to choose healthier and nutritious foods such as lean meats, low -fat dairy products and vegetables. All these foods are rich in essential nutrients that help the baby develop in good health.

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