CRAVING SUSHI! But is it safe?

[Blondie]

Please tell me its OK to eat Cooked Chicken Teryaki with Avocado Sushi?! I am really craving it!

I have heard things about the rice being dodgy but if its made in the store on the day and the store has a high turn over is it ok?

It's a no no, as you really don't know when the rice was made it could still have been the day before. Maybe try making it yourself?

I craved it with both pregnancies but IMO it just wasn't worth the risk. I did make it at home but it wasn't the same. I just pigged out on it the day that I had my girls. Hehehe. MIL brought it to the hospital with a big tub of pasta salad lol

Thanks Ladies - I guess its out then Darn it! I was SO craving it!

you have to be concerned about anything that has just been sitting around. because you have no proof as to exactly how long it has just been sitting around (esp. cold). plus raw stuff. as it is a bacteria that is dangerous, and bacteria like cold things that have been there for a while

Make it yourself. I've never done it...but i hear it is pretty easy =)

I had sushi the other day - I watched the man make it fresh for me, and the rice is made daily.

Sushi rice is made fresh daily, because you can't refrigerate it without ruining it. As such the rolls are made fresh daily, they never keep them for the next day.

ETA: I had the tuna, as it is cooked, canned tuna, not chicken or raw fish.

I think there's still a risk with the rice, even if it is refrigerated that listeria might be lurking. It's also an issue of hygiene. But if you trust the people making it then it's up to you of course! I didn't realize that you weren't supposed to have soft serve when pregnant and lived on macca's vanilla thickshakes during ms with DD1 and she's fine. In the end it's totally up to you
