Vodka sauce can we eat while pregnant?

Question

Does anyone know that has confirmed with a doc if we are allowed to consume vodka pasta sauce?  I would like it would cook off but just not sure.  Any thoughts?  Been getting mixed reviews online.

Answer

I was told it was fine to eat by my Dr. especially if it's store bought.. they don't I.D. you when you buy it so there is no alcohol content

Answer

Lol you’re fine.

Answer

Probably would be cooked off.

Answer

Alcohol cooks out of sauces. I’d eat it!

Answer

I actually asked my doctor about this the other day and she said the newest research is showing that very little alcohol burns off in cooking, so she recommends avoiding sauces or desserts made with alcohol as a “better safe than sorry” type of thing. 
The USDA states the following- 
Preparation Method and Percent of Alcohol Retained
alcohol added to boiling liquid & removed from heat: 85%
alcohol flamed: 75%
no heat, stored overnight: 70%
baked, 25 minutes, alcohol not stirred into mixture: 45%
baked/simmered, alcohol stirred into mixture:
15 minutes - 40%
30 minutes - 35%
1 hour - 25%
1.5 hours - 20%
2 hours - 10%
2.5 hours - 5%
So you have to cook it for a LONG time to truly cook out all the alcohol.

Answer

I've never heard of this so can't say for sure, but marsala sauce and rum cakes are fine because the alcohol cooks off.

Answer

I made that for dinner last night. You just have to make sure the alcohol is burned off.
