kraft classic potato salad

[2CheekyMonkeys]

would you eat this? i want some potato salad so thought i would make some home made and then read somewhere that some pregnant women dont even eat the potato sald dressing/mayonaisse whilest pregnant. it does contain eggs in the ingredients.. what would you do?

[LaDeeDa]

oh dear ..... I've been eating this at least once a week for ages......

I haven't for that reason.
I was so PO'd about it too as i was craving my homemade potato salad. I ended up finding a honey mustard dressing to put on it seperatly but it's just not the same.

if you ask me what my favourite food is I would tell you home made potato salad. I have not eaten it the whole time I have been pregnant currently 36 weeks however if you go to the following site Food Standards Australia New Zealand: Fact Sheets 2005
then click on listeria commonly asked questions it has very informative information and it says the following about mayo:

Condiments e.g. mayonnaise and pesto
These products are safe if purchased pre-packaged by the manufacturer and are chilled. They are also safe if cooked

although I havent touched mayo this is because I have been extra careful due to two miscarriages, having said that I am making potato salad for xmas lunch I am due on new years eve so I think I will be fine. Just use it as soon as you open the jar and eat potato salad straight away dont keep the mayo and use it again just buy a smaller jar I would suggest.

I thought mayo like kraft etc was ok, just not whole egg mayo or homemade.
