Can we drink pasteurized milk without boiling during pregnancy?

Question

I buy the packet wala pasteurized milk and honestly so lazy to boil it every time. My MIL says boil karna zaroori hai but the packet says ready to drink. Whats the right thing during pregnancy?

Mihika Apte · Answer

Since pasteurized milk is already heated to kill bacteria, it's technically safe without boiling. But during my pregnancy, I always boiled it just to have complete peace of mind.

Shweta Rawal · Answer

I felt so paranoid about food infections during my pregnancy. Even though pasteurized milk is safe, I couldn't bring myself to drink it without boiling it first.

Pasteurization kills most bacteria, but for pregnancy safety, I always recommend checking with your gynac. Personally, I would boil it just to be 100% safe from any infection.

Haan na, technically toh safe hota hai par risk kyun lena? Pouch wala milk humesha boil karke hi pina chahiye, safe rehna sabse best hai.

Haha, who even has the energy to boil milk and wait for it to cool down when you are exhausted? But honestly, yes, pasteurized milk is safe, though boiling it once doesn't hurt if you want to be extra safe.
