Information

Sweet cider can be consumed during pregnancy, but it is better to consume it in moderation. Although gentle cider contains very little alcohol (about 0.5 %), it is always important to consume alcohol in moderation when pregnant. It is therefore advisable to limit your consumption to an occasional glass. In addition, gentle cider can contain bacteria that can cause food infections, such as listeriosis, which can be dangerous for the fetus. It is therefore important to ensure that cider is well pasteurized and well refrigerated before consuming it. Thus, despite the linked risks, the gentle cider remains relatively without danger for pregnant women if it is consumed in moderation and well refrigerated. However, it is always important to consult your doctor before consuming any type of alcohol during pregnancy.
