I had a sandwich with mayo today and then got worried because i read something about raw egg in it. Now im a little tensed. Is store wala mayonnaise safe during pregnancy? pls tell.
Honestly, I have survived on eggless mayo sandwiches during this third trimester because I am too tired to cook! Just ensure it's pasteurized and eat in moderation.
I asked the dietician at my hospital about this. They told me commercial eggless mayonnaise is perfectly safe because it is pasteurized, but to strictly avoid homemade raw egg mayo. You can confirm with your hospital's nutrition staff too.
Don't eat homemade mayonnaise made with raw eggs, it has a risk of salmonella. Only buy standard pasteurized brands from the supermarket and check the expiry date.
Store-bought pasteurized mayo is fine occasionally, but I prefer fresh homemade hung curd spreads as a healthy alternative. It's much better for digestion. But always check with your doctor if you feel any stomach issues.
