Information

Eating frozen molds during pregnancy is not prohibited, but it is important to prepare them safely. The frozen molds are generally sold alive and raw, and without any treatment in order to keep them. This means that they can contain bacteria that can be harmful to health. Therefore, it is important to cook them thoroughly before consuming them. Cooking at high temperature and for a sufficiently long period is the best method to avoid any risk linked to the consumption of frozen molds. You should also avoid consuming molds that have been kept for a long time and the packaging is damaged. Finally, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before consuming frozen molds during pregnancy.

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