Information
The whole cream is a good source of protein and fat. But as it contains bacteria, you have to be careful when you are pregnant. Although the crème fraîche is generally considered safe, it is considered a food at risk during pregnancy, because it can contain harmful bacteria, such as Listeria Monocytogenes. Listeria can be dangerous for the mother and the fetus, because it can cause complications during pregnancy, such as serious infections, a miscarriage and even death. Therefore, it is important to avoid the whole cream during pregnancy. It is best to choose pasteurized dairy products or based on UHT milk. The crème fraîche can be consumed after pregnancy, but you should always consume it with care and ensure that it is well cooked and that it has been heated to a temperature high enough to kill all bacteria.
