Awww... all this talk of ice cream makes me jealous! I'm dairy intolerant so I guess it doesn't apply to me But it's interesting to note for friends who wonder about these things. I never knew all that about mcds!]]> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 11:39:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=443876&title=ice-cream#443876 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=437116&title=ice-cream#437116 Author: katie1

My midwife told me not to eat any ice cream from McDonalds or that you get in a cone from a diary etc. She said it is because you can't guarantee they have been kept at a constant temperature and hasn't melted a bit then been refrozen.
I guess it is just one of those things where you make a decision about what you are personally comfortable with doing. ]]> Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:09:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=437116&title=ice-cream#437116 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436994&title=ice-cream#436994 Author: emz

I ate them, I don't see the big deal really. They still have to pass health and safety and food standards so meh I didn't care.

Plus like Jess said, it does wonders for heartburn. Icecream was the only thing I could eat that wouldn't give me wicked heartburn.]]> Fri, 11 Jul 2008 11:35:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436994&title=ice-cream#436994 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436895&title=ice-cream#436895 Author: peanut butter

emmakate - all soft-serve ice cream is UHT and pasteurised, as it is law. The soft serve ice cream 'liquid' can be kept at room-temperature because of this. The liquid is kept in a sterile pouch before it is put into the machine. I did a food tech paper at uni, and was taught about these sorts of things. Almost all soft serve doesn't contain eggs, and if it does, they are pasteurised.]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 17:01:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436549&title=ice-cream#436549 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436540&title=ice-cream#436540 Author: emmakate

i'd stay away from them... the "ice cream" liquid can be kept at room temp before it goes into the actually machine. that's when all the bugs can hang out and make their own babies in the warm. not so nice.]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:36:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436540&title=ice-cream#436540 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436539&title=ice-cream#436539 Author: pepsi

Not that I'm saying it makes it 'safe' or anything, but I worked at McDonalds as a teenager and still remember cleaning out the ice cream machines at closing time. You had to remove all the nozzels and everything. The liquid ice cream mix just swirls around in the top of the machine all night, and it's refrigerated.

If it came down to a dirty machine being the reason why women shouldn't eat soft serve, I'd rather eat it from McDonalds than some random Mr Whippy truck.]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:36:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436539&title=ice-cream#436539 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436533&title=ice-cream#436533 Author: NeoshasMummy

Thanks, so standard supermarket ice creams are OK ie Tip Top, even though they have egg in the ingredient list?

mmm sounds like I might need to buy a tub of icecream instead of just a little sundae

ETA the McDonald's sundaes come out of the same machine as the ice creams they are just put into a container instead of a cone. What if the machine had just been cleaned? ( I saw one being cleaned the other day, the said they always do it at the same time)

Any type of mr whippy ice cream is best to stay away from, its not what's in it it is the machinery and possible germs in that. A Sundae would probably be ok as it isn't being squirted out of the machine like the cones are.
Apart from the mr whippy stuff all other ice cream is ok. ]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:05:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436501&title=ice-cream#436501 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436497&title=ice-cream#436497 Author: Mattsmum

Hey, I have a silly question.
I have had a craving for a McDonald's ice cream sundae for days. Someone told me all ice cream was bad- the frozen pots have egg in them and the soft serve is dangerous- does anyone know why?

I did have some sundaes when I was about 4 months pregnant - they have quite a high amount of calcium in them (I can't stand milk) and I am OK so far, I didn't see anything about them in the safe eating while pregnant book.

Does anyone know for sure? (I am reaching the point where the food I can't eat list is starting to get to me and I want something different)

Thanks]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:02:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19022&PID=436497&title=ice-cream#436497
