Anyone else terrified to eat produce? 😫

All I’ve been eating is cereal atp 😭😭

@Jacquelyn 🤍📸 Sameee 😭 Sometimes I’ll switch it up & do a Pop Tart lol

So a lot of foods carry harmful bacteria if you wash and cook your food thoroughly you can kill the bacteria Ive been eating cooked veggies like stir fry them

Sad to report to you that there are recalls in GA I live in griffin and work at ingles more then half of our boars head meats have been recalled I’m not scared bc it’ll happen no matter what it’s the risk you take whenever you eat deli meat pregnant or not recalls are happening we jus don’t pay attention to it

I work in infectious disease and have been hyper aware of the risk of foodborne illness my whole pregnancy. My coworkers recently told me about an app called “FoodKeeper” that’s run by the USDA and provides updates on new food recalls. It’s been really helpful so far so I know what foods to avoid. For now, it’s probably best to avoid eating raw produce (veggies more than fruit, imo) and cook them to an appropriate temperature that’s high enough to kill listeria. And, out of an abundance of caution, I’d stay away from deli meat. Some restaurants use boar’s head meats for their sandwiches, so I would be hesitant to eat it even if it’s been heated up. Try not to freak out too much, there are still plenty of safe foods we can eat❤️

@Kaylee Oh, definitely! I don’t eat deli meat so I’m fortunately not worried about that part. But I do usually eat a bunch of raw veggies & now I’m too afraid to!

@Taylor Thank you! I’ll definitely download it! Yeah, I guess I’ll be skipping the raw veggies for now. Which is a bummer bc that’s my go to snack! I don’t eat deli meat while pregnant so I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that too
