Eating out
So this might sound really daft, I went for a meal at COSMO’s in derby tonight it’s an all you can eat Buffett, I asked the chefs is it pasteurised etc they didn’t seem to have a clue which threw me off automatically… but then I asked where they get there ingredients from and they said ‘MACRO’
I would think with it being a restaurant it would be pasteurised as surely am not the only pregnant woman to have ever eaten there?
I am now home and extremely stressed out worrying whether or not I have eaten something that could affect my baby.
I steered clear from any sort of sea food / raw meats / deli meats etc.
I had coleslaw and now also stressed that bad raw egg in. Can someone pls just reassure me that they’ve either eaten there while pregnant or know if it’s okay😅x
With meat, as long as things are properly cooked you should be fine. Not going to lie, when I have the occasional steak I have it medium to medium well at the moment so still slightly pink but I’ve been completely fine! For fish, I figure you weren’t eating anything raw and I know they say to avoid fish that’s high in mercury but I doubt a one off dinner would do much with regards to the mercury. With dairy, various cheeses are unpasteurised - you can find lists online. I honestly think you’re going to be fine from one dinner, also, it’s all just luck really when it comes to eating out - but if something tasted off or didn’t seem properly cooked I’m sure you would have been able to tell.
