Craving pizza so bad rn and pepperoni is my fav. But i keep reading about processed meat in pregnancy and now im scared to order. Is it ok or should i skip the pepperoni one?
Look, skip the pepperoni during these months. It's uncooked cured meat which can carry bacteria, so just stick to normal hot veg pizza for a few months.
My mom always made fresh warm food at home, so she was against outside processed meat. If you have cravings, maybe try a freshly baked cheese and veggie pizza at home instead!
I had some complications in my pregnancy, so I was very strict about avoiding cured meats like pepperoni due to listeria risk. It's always safer to ask your gynac before eating processed meats.
Pepperoni is processed meat and can have high sodium and preservatives, plus pizza spikes blood sugar. If you really want it, make sure the pizza is piping hot so any bacteria is destroyed.
I love pepperoni pizza and was wondering about this! I read that if the pepperoni is cooked thoroughly at high heat on the pizza, it is safe, but is that true?
