Consuming milk and eggs during pregnancy is crucial for both protein and calcium. However, it's important to ensure that foods are well-cooked and pasteurized.
✅ Safe options:
Pasteurized milk, yogurt (pasteurized), scrambled or fried eggs, menemen (Turkish menemen), quiche (quiche), as well as industrially prepared mayonnaise and aioli, are all safe to consume.
🚫 Things to Avoid:
Unpasteurized milk and dairy products, soft ice cream made in ice cream machines, raw eggs, homemade mayonnaise, aioli, or Caesar dressing, homemade chocolate mousse, raw cake batter, and pancake batter carry a potential bacterial risk and are therefore not recommended.
