Can we (pregnant people) eat Caesar Salad (see description before voting)?? Can't find the answer

Question

Specifically the concerns I've read are about raw egg in it or the anchovies but some things say commercial products like a bagged salad at the grocery store or a restaurant will use pasteurized product not raw eggs. It sounds soo good but I don't want to hurt baby.

Answer

I have eaten so much Caesar salad and I'm only 8 weeks in. I've never heard of a restriction on Caesar dressing. These days the lettuce is probably more dangerous than anything else in the mix, honestly!

Answer

Yes, REAL caesar dressing is made with raw egg so if you order it in a restaurant ask them if they make it with raw egg/from scratch…most good restaurants will. Caesar dressing from a bottle will be pasteurized and not made with raw ingredients so you are fine with those.

Answer

Cesar salad is actually something I’ve been craving like crazzzzzy so I sure hope it’s okay!

Answer

Romain lettuce is the most dangerous food you can consume during pregnancy. If you eat salads, I would steer clear of Romain based salads as it is one of the most frequently contaminated food items. I avoided salads all together last pregnancy, especially out at restaurants where you have no control over how the food is handled/washed/prepared. I would be less concerned about the dressing, but always be sure it’s pasteurized.

Answer

I ate them every once in a while when I was pregnant with my first. Just make sure to read that the ingredients are pasteurized!! I craved chicken Caesar wraps with my first from McAlister’s and asked to read the label on the dressing and it was all okay!
