What not to eat...

Question

Okay I'm a lil freaked out bc yesterday I ate 2 chicken ceasar salads, one for lunch and one for dinner. Then I found out last night that the ceasar dressing is not good for the baby. Now I'm super paranoid that I harmed my baby. Should I be worried? And for repeat moms, what foods do you recommend not eating while pregnant?

Answer

Ceaser dressing contains raw eggs which is why you want to stay say from it. Most store bought ceaser dressings are not made with raw eggs but a lot of restaurants make their own ceaser dressings with raw eggs, just need to ask them before you order!

Answer

Ceaser dressing is usually made with Anchovies in it so that is why. I'm sure small amounts every now and then won't hurt you!

Answer

I haven't heard of Caesar dressing before. I only know about processed foods and raw fish... I like sub sandwiches but I cut back and don't eat 'em as often.

Answer

Depends where you got the dressing from. If it was a restaurant that makes their dressing in house it might have raw eggs in it. Any store bought dressings would be fine though. I personally eat raw eggs in dressings and mayo and have never had a problem.

Answer

It depends on the quality of the eggs in the dressing really. If you have a high quality organic dressing with pasture raised eggs then I wouldn't be concerned at all. I ate soft cheeses, medium rare meat, eggs with runny yolks all the time when I was pregnant. I just made sure all the food was high quality or I made it at home with good ingredients.

Answer

I've never heard that before. I eat whatever I want. I only watch out for certain types of fish.
