agree . I had a wicked bout of gastro when pregnant and everything was fine, and I think safe choices - such as refrigeration etc, and personal hygiene are the best you can do to prevent nasty things happening]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 18:58:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1352016&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1352016 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1352013&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1352013 Author: myfullhouse

I know it does sound really paranoid but if you do get food poisoning it can have devastating effects on your baby. I don't always like ti but I follow the 'rules' when I am pg, really it's only for a very short period in my life]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 18:56:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1352013&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1352013 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351992&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351992 Author: JessDub

Yeah, make it yourself fresh. Pesto has been linked to botulism. Botulism likes the garlic and oil combo. ]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:54:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351992&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351992 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351899&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351899 Author: Turtle

Listeria tends to come from soft cheeses - and pesto only has parmesan in it. I can't see that it would have any problem. I've never heard of issues with it before.]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 15:40:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351899&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351899 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351879&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351879 Author: sarasal

my midwife today said so long as most things like feta etc are in a sealed packet, I can have some but once it is opened it has to be used for cooking or eaten by the rest of the family.

Can't see why not, as long as you eat within 2 days of opening. It must be something in the pesto, apparently it is the tahini in hummus that makes it a no-no as a bad batch of tahini came into the country years ago.]]> Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:41:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351433&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351433 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351432&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351432 Author: T_Rex

Read the back of the packet - some are made with non-pasteurised cheese which is a no-no. I found a handful with a warning to that effect on the bottom when I was pg with DD.

Assuming that it's not one of those, I'd eat it if it's a freshly opened packet. But actually it's super easy to make yourself and I don't think I've eaten bought pesto since I learnt how to make it ]]> Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:39:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351432&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351432 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351429&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351429 Author: Jessenia

I assume that it's okay if you eat it cold from the fridge and not after it's been sitting out getting warm and germy.]]> Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:25:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351416&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351416 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39661&PID=1351405&title=pesto-yes-or-no#1351405 Author: Jessenia
