Is balsamic vinegar safe during pregnancy?

Question

I made a salad with balsamic dressing the other day and only after eating it i started wondering if vinegar is okay now. Im in first trimester so being extra careful with everything. Anyone know about this?

I used to google every single ingredient too honestly. For balsamic vinegar the salad amount is okay, I checked with my doctor once just for peace of mind and she said no issue. If it calms you, ask yours too.

A normal amount in salad dressing is fine, balsamic vinegar from a sealed bottle is processed and safe. Just dont have it in huge quantities. I used it in salads through my pregnancy with no problem.

Small amounts in food are fine. Nothing to worry about.

I love balsamic on my salads and had it all through, no issues at all. The amount you use in dressing is tiny anyway. Enjoy your salad yaar.

Store bought balsamic vinegar is generally considered safe in small culinary amounts during pregnancy. As with anything new, keep it moderate. If you have acidity issues maybe go easy on it.
