Food to avoid - yet another question??

[lue101]

Hey all!

I picked up a great link to the NSW Food Authority from another thread

(Pregnancy and food safety | NSW Food Authority) for those who missed it

and their information is fantastic, however i noticed that they had a paragraph on pregnant women not eating sprouts - inc soybeans cooked or raw.

Now my question, as a huge soy-sauce-on-rice-daily fan, is, is this sauce as bad as the sprout itself and should i avoid eating my beloved sauce? And is it likely that over the past few weeks I've unknowingly hurt my bump by eating all these wrong foods? I've only today.

I am guessing - but I would think soy sauce is fine - just watch the high salt content for fluid retention etc .....

I love soy too

Congrats on your BFP. Im not 100 % about food but i think you will be ok. If your not sure give your local health care clinic a ring.

nah mate, It's just the sprouts themselves. In those packets they come in they can harbour nasty bacteria.
The sauce is fine.
