Frequently asked questions
Can I eat liver and liver pâté?
Avoid. Very high in vitamin A, which can harm the baby.
Where does this answer come from?
The NHS (UK) guidance — linked in the source line below.
Does this replace my clinician's advice?
No. Guidelines are written for populations; your clinician's advice is written for you. If the two disagree, theirs wins.
Soft cheese with a mould rind (brie, camembert, blue)
Mould-ripened soft cheeses carry a listeria risk unless cooked until steaming hot.
Cured meats (salami, parma ham, chorizo)
Cured, uncooked meats carry toxoplasmosis and listeria risks. Safe if cooked thoroughly, e.g. on a hot pizza.
Sushi with raw fish
Raw fish carries parasite and listeria risks; sushi made with cooked fish or vegetables is fine.
Cold-smoked fish (smoked salmon)
Cold-smoked fish carries a listeria risk; hot-smoked or cooked-through is fine.
Alcohol
There is no known safe amount in pregnancy; the NHS advice is none at all.
