Information

Eating speck during pregnancy is a delicate subject. Speck is smoked ham, and is traditionally rich in salt and nitrites, which could cause health risks. In addition, the Speck has a very strong taste and could be difficult to digest for some pregnant women. Overall, it is preferable to limit the consumption of Speck during pregnancy. It is recommended not to eat more than two Speck slices per week and to choose products that contain the least salt and nitrites as possible. It is also important to check the nutritional labels of products to ensure that they only contain more salt and nitrites than recommendations. It is important to consult your doctor before eating speck during pregnancy. He can advise you on the quantity and frequency of consumption that best suit your state of health.

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