Information
Cancoillotte is a traditional dairy product much appreciated in France, but can it be consumed by pregnant women? The answer is yes, but with certain precautions. Indeed, fresh cheese is to be avoided during pregnancy because it can contain dangerous bacteria which can be harmful to the fetus. The cancoillotte is a fresh cheese, but it was heated to very high temperatures that kill potentially dangerous bacteria. In addition, the cancoillotte is very rich in calcium and protein, and it can therefore constitute an interesting complement for a varied and balanced diet during pregnancy. It is nevertheless advisable to limit its consumption and not to abuse it. In conclusion, the cancoillotte can be consumed during pregnancy, provided you respect some precautions. It is best to ask your doctor for advice before consuming it, to make sure that this has no risk for your health and that of your baby.
