Listeriosis - toxoplasmosis

Information

No, smoked raw ham is not recommended during pregnancy. Wind and smoked foods can contain harmful bacteria that can cause dangerous infections for mom and baby. In addition, smoked raw ham can contain high levels of nitrites, which are considered to be carcinogenic agents. It is best to choose processed and cooked food at high temperature to avoid any risk of bacterial contamination. Foods cooked with steam, pan or grill are safer and good for health. You can also choose processed foods based on cooked ham, such as sandwiches, salads and pies, which are safer and can be consumed during pregnancy.
