 Topic: Best foods mayonnaise when pregnant?

Is anyone eating store brought mayo?
Might sound terrible but I do know I can eat McDonalds mayo as its heat treated but does anyone know about supermarket mayo?

I believe it's the homemade mayo that you need to be wary of, storebought stuff like best foods should be fine

Yes you can eat it as it almost 100% fat. That means that the bacteria (which need oxygen to grow) can't breathe and so aren't very active, making it low risk. Thank goodness because i love that best foods one.

A guy said on good morning the other day about how unborn baby's need to be exposed to germs and stuff so they can build up their immune system. I'd say eat what ever you like, except if its really dodgy. Pregnancy has turned into a medical science thing now!

I ate it and its yummy!!! Hmmm
Berg19 reason being you have to be so careful is that babies dont have or have very little of an immune system so they cant fight the germs themselves. Hense babies being born too early or stillborn. To be honest I wouldnt go around recommending to eat whatever you like sorry!

Each to their own I say Inlove28!
If you want to follow current medical advice and avoid the suggested foods then do, if you want to go old school like our mums did then thats personal choice. Pregnancy is an individual and very personal time.
I ate store brought Mayo as crafty1 said, its all fat anyway. hehe.

NZFSA says that store bought mayo is ok to eat, this is cut from their website:
Sauces and dressings
salad dressings (oil and vinegar), bought mayonnaise, tomato sauce etc
Store in fridge once opened, check maximum storage time

If i didn't eat anything on the "naughty" list i wouldn't be able to eat anything!!  But yes, each to their own. Your pregnancy is your own, so you decide what you want to do and what you don't want to do. I wasn't recommending to eat whatever you like, i was just stating my opinion inlove28.

The eating thing is such a controversial thing...........
I personally think that just like smoking and drinking and drugs have been proven to harm unborn babies, so have certain foods and well im not prepared to take the risk of playing russian roulette with my babies life for the sake of my own selfish taste buds for a mere 9months!!!! but each to their own, i just know that I have done everything to keep my baby safe from harm by making informed choices..........im glad the information is out there so i know how to keep my baby safe from any nasties that might lurk
Best foods lite has slightly (yes very slightly) less fat in it and tastes just as great!!! My DS 5 loves it and requests on his sandwiches every day, just mayo nothing else.......lol

The concern with mayo is that home-made is made with raw eggs, shop bought isn't. It will have been heat treated also. If you can buy something that isn't refrigerated to start wtih, then it won't be home made mayo, so it will be fine

I ate the Best Foods lite mayo all the way through my pregnancy (mmmmm potato salad.....)
Re. the food thing, each to their own. I made friends with a woman in the NNU (who was also in my antenatal and aquanatal class) whose little boy arrived at 33w because he had contracted listeria in the womb, which then went on to develop into meningitis. He had a pretty bad prognosis (they didn't expect him to live). He made a fantastic recovery, but I will always remember what they had to go through. In saying that - I just used common sense with what food I ate (so no raw meats etc) and will do so next time as well - but what A went through after having her son, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

it's just egg mayonaise - homemade you need to be weary off.
That sucks kate.
I normally eat what I want, but i don't like things like fancy cheeses etc anyway so it's ok, and always making sure your food is hot.
