Information
Eating cooked molds during pregnancy is generally safe, but moderate consumption is recommended. Indeed, although the molds are rich in vitamins and minerals, they can contain toxins and bacteria which can be harmful to the mother and the baby. It is therefore important to cook them well to eliminate possible toxins and bacteria. Also remember that the molds are rich in sodium and fat, which can cause significant weight gain and the risk of preeclampsia. It is therefore recommended to limit the consumption of molds to once a week and not to abuse it. Finally, it is important to choose fresh, well -cooked and well washed molds to avoid any risk of food poisoning.
All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
