can i eat chicken salad while pregnant

Yes, you can safely eat chicken salad during pregnancy as long as the chicken is well-cooked. Undercooked or raw meat can contain bacteria which may cause health issues. Also, ensure that mayonnaise used in the salad is made from pasteurized eggs to avoid any possible contamination.

Eggs in a chicken salad, similar to mayonnaise, should be pasteurized to avoid the risk of salmonella infection. Always ensure that any foods you consume during pregnancy are properly cooked or pasteurized to minimize possible health risks.

You can find this information on the product labels. Pasteurized eggs and mayonnaise have been heat-treated to kill any potentially harmful bacteria. If you're dining out and aren't sure, it’s best to ask or avoid foods which may carry risks.

You’re welcome! If you have any other questions about your diet or anything else, feel free to ask.
