Information
Yes, you can eat an omelet during pregnancy. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and are also rich in vitamins and minerals. However, it is important to prepare the omelette in a safe way to avoid contamination by salmonella. Eggs must be cooked at a temperature high enough to kill all pathogens and other harmful bacteria. It is therefore preferable to cook the omelets and scrambled eggs well until they are well cooked and not to consume products based on raw or partially cooked eggs. In addition, if you have doubts about the freshness of the eggs, it is better to avoid them completely.
