What kind of meat is safe on a pizza?

[Miss.B]

Hi all,

I'm craving a pizza full of eggplant, sun dries tomatoes, olives, fetta cheese (I know I can't have that), but I'm not sure if it's safe to put any meat on it? Not a big fan of chicken, I was thinking a bit of shredded ham, maybe salami but from a packet???? In my last pg, my OB said processed meat was OK as long as it came from a sealed can/packet. Any advice??

MissB, my understanding is if it's piping hot, it's okay????

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Yeah that will be fine. The heat will kill any nasties anyway.

[Miss.B]

Oh doh!!!! Of course the heat in the oven is gonna kill all the nasties! Thanks heaps ladies, off to get my ingredients for dinner

You may be able to have feta too. Just check the package to see of it is made from pasteurized milk. If it is it's okay, if not leave it. I've found most are okay.

Mmmmm pizza. Sounds good!

Darn i had fetta on my pizza last night, should be ok cooked, right?

[leckert]

if it's been cooked and served hot, the feta and meats should be fine

hahahaha, most Feta's you'd buy in Australia would be pasteurized so would be fine hot or cold anyway

All cheese in Australia should be pastureised.
I was a little more relaxed in my second pregnancy, I ate cold ham, smoked salmon and the odd piece of soft cheese, cooked prawns, shell fish. I was just sensible and careful. I bought small amounts in sealed packets, I would only eat it if I was the person who opened the packet, I would buy from the back of the shelf, ensuring that the use by date had the longest time possible on it. I would buy raw prawns and cook and chill my own or buy my fish from a dedicaded fish monger who could advise me if the product had been cooked that day. I would also eat left overs, from food that I had made myself, ensuring I had used fresh produce and that it had been refridgerated approppriately, reheated piping hot before consumption.
I would always avoid prepared salads and cold cuts of meats from delis and buffet bars, raw oysters, sushi (unless I made it myself) and raw/runny eggs.

WRT the cheese needed to be pasteurized in Aus most cheese is; some craft cheeses don't have to be but you're unlikely to get these at your local supermarket- found that out last year while at a cheese factory tasting after tasting some non-pasteurized cheese while pg

Mmm pizza.... well my GP has said as long as things like salami and ham are piping hot, all ok

TBH, I've been a little bit slack with the bad food thing. I made a cake yesterday and licked the bowl (raw egg!!!) I dunno if it's all a bit over-amped, sure there's a risk.. but my mother had 4 healthy pregnancies and she ate cold ham, chicken and soft cheese etc. I'm really craving a ham, cheese & tomato toasted sandwich right now... and a pepperoni pizza! I eat leftovers almost every day for lunch at work, they're always last nights dinner and reheated till scalding.

Hope you enjoyed your pizza!

All cheese in Australia should be pastureised.

Although soft cheeses in Australia are made with pasteurised milk they still carry a risk of listeria because they can be infected during or after the production of the cheese.
