Pizza????

[lj268]

I have recently been told to avoid any of the processed meats, like what they would use on pizza, so now Im confused lol.

I have been avoiding eating pizza for that very reason, and I used to love pizza

yes it is best to avoid processed meats..especially the ones from the deli. But pizza when its hot enough will kill the bacteria, so thats why we are eating it hot. If its not hot then there has been a window of oppertunity to grow bacteria and all the nastys. You can eat pizza just if u have to heat it up some more when u get it home. But i wouldnt advise u going and having a straz sandwich or something..

i hope that helped...

While the mortality rate of listeriosis for maternal-foetal infections is high, the actual incidence rate of listeriosis is incredibly low. In Australia, about 60 cases are diagnosed each year, only 6 of those in pregnant women. That's about 0.000003%.

So be careful what you eat, but don't beat yourself up and worry yourself sick if you think you ate something you aren't supposed to.

Yes that did help, I was wondering how people could eat pizza with processed meat lol.

Its funny how things change over the years. When I had my first child in 1990 I wasnt told to avoid anything! Im sure I ate whatever I wanted and she turned out just fine.

I was given a book on what to and what not to eat whilst pg and one of the things was soft serve ice-cream. I wasnt impressed with that, cause I love the stuff lol. Not quite sure what is wrong with it, but I havent eaten it since, so should be ok I think.

Hmm I was wondering about pizza today... that was, AFTER i'd eaten it!! It was piping hot, and fresh from the pizza place and tasted soo good! I couldn't resist... everyone else was digging in and I was starving!!!
Although not very nutritional, it did taste nice.... but i definitely will stay away from the leftovers. DH took the leftovers home and i said he can eat them on his own!
