Information

Although the ham crepe is a very popular and delicious dish, it is not recommended to include it in your diet during pregnancy. Crepe itself is a source of carbohydrates and energy, but ham contains a lot of sodium and nitrates, which can cause health problems during pregnancy. The ham can also contain bacteria that can cause infections and diseases if they are not handled and cooked correctly. Therefore, it is preferable for pregnant women to avoid ham crepe. You can replace the ham with healthy and nutritious alternatives such as vegetables, fruits or dairy products. These foods are rich in vitamins and minerals essential to your health and that of your baby. In addition, they are much less likely to contain harmful bacteria and contaminants.

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