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.

Go for the soy, but maybe switch to Tamari, the low salt version! xo

Hey - Thanks all!

I've found out it's okay to have Soy Sauce, but in small amounts as the salt content can be high! So i'm down to every second day and smaller amounts

Thanks again all!
