Can i take amul milk without boiling in pregnancy?

Question

I usually drink Amul milk straight from the packet without boiling it. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if this is still safe. Do I need to boil Amul milk before drinking it during pregnancy?

Mrinalini Walia · Answer

Please do not drink unboiled packet milk as it can carry bacteria like listeria, which is dangerous if you have any complications. Always boil it completely. If you feel any stomach issues or fever, consult your doctor immediately.

Arre, why take a risk to save 5 minutes of boiling, yaar? Having twins taught me to be extra safe about food hygiene. Pasteurized or not, always boil packet milk to kill any hidden bugs!

Even though it is pasteurized, always boil Amul milk before drinking it during pregnancy. It is safer to avoid any risk of infection.

Sheetal Chopra · Answer

My doctor explained that while pasteurization kills active bacteria, contamination can still occur during packaging or if the cold chain is broken. Therefore, she strictly advised boiling packet milk before consuming it during pregnancy to prevent foodborne illness.

Amul packet milk is pasteurized, but during handling or delivery, packet surface can get dirty. Boiling is a simple step that keeps you and your baby 100% safe. Just boil it once, let it cool, and then drink.

Honestly, the smell of raw milk used to make me throw up immediately during my early weeks. If you want to drink Amul milk, boiling and then chilling it with a bit of cardamom can help reduce the raw smell and soothe your stomach.
