Information

Pregnancy is a particularly important period for the health of the mother and baby. However, many foods can be dangerous and should be avoided during this period. The consumption of Vire Andouille during pregnancy is not recommended. Indeed, this sausage contains a high amount of salt and nitrites, a chemical substance used to keep the meat and give it a color and an appetizing taste. However, these two components can be harmful to the health of the fetus and cause health problems, including congenital anomalies and malformations. Therefore, pregnant women must avoid consuming Vire Andouille to avoid any risk for their health and that of their baby. It is best to choose healthier and more nutritious foods such as vegetables, fruits and dairy products. These foods are rich in vitamins and minerals and can help ensure a healthy and normal development of the baby.

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