Information

Eating Mediterranean molds during pregnancy is generally considered safe when the molds are well cooked. However, it is recommended to avoid eating raw or poorly cooked molds during pregnancy. Raw or poorly cooked mussels can be a potential source of bacteria and toxins that can cause serious infections and diseases in mother and baby. When you cook the molds, make sure they are completely open and cooking lasts at least 5 minutes. In addition, you should also avoid molds that smell bad or have an unusual appearance. In addition, you should avoid eating molds during pregnancy if you have a history of allergy to this food.

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