What foods are you supposed to stay away from?

Question

So I know sushi is a no go and so is tuna fish due to the mercury it has in it.  Should I be concerned of any others ??

Answer

Use your judgement about shady foods. Don't do buffets or anything where food has been left out for too long. They say avoid lunch meat or cook it to steaming to avoid listeria. But listeria can be on produce or really anything so you decide. I eat the lunch meat if it's from a place I trust. 10 ounces of seafood weekly is recommended as a max. I've yet to find an unpasteurized cheese, but blue cheese, feta, and queso blanco are known to be the most guilty. Wash your fruits and veggies. No undercooked eggs or foods with raw eggs in them (cookie dough, some Caesar dressings). 
Everything in moderation and just use common sense. Your immune system is weak right now and if it could make you sick just imagine the baby. I'm a ftm and have made it to week 27, even with a few slip ups. Better safe than sorry, but keep your sanity!

Answer

Check out the ovia pregnancy app. They have a food safety search list and medication too. I use it if I'm nervous about what I want to eat. I love it and the ovulation app helped me get pregnant. It's a good resource for food and meds.

Answer

I hear you should avoid food trucks because the food quality is sub par

Answer

You can eat tuna as long as it's the light kind. Stay away from albacore.

Answer

People say that the other recommendations are unnecessary but I stick to them including no unpasteurized soft cheese, hot dogs, deli meat, meat cooked medium or rare,
