I know I sound paranoid.....but is it okay to eat Noodle box? (Even though I have)

[FabFiona]

Excuse my ignorance - why are bean sprouts forbidden? I've been so slack this time!

I ate noodle box through my last 2 pregnancies. I was completely addicted to Laksa. I always asked for no bean sprouts but occasionally they would forget and I got them.

FabFiona - Apparently bean sprouts hold bacteria and listeria. The listeria can be killed off with heat but the bacteria they hold isn't so they should be avoided when pregnant.

ETA - Apparently now NSW Food Authority says you can have them if they're cooked at high temperatures. Good news!
