[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's fine. The risk is a cumulative one. There is a tiny risk of contamination each time you eat raw milk cheese, or undercooked meat, etc. The danger comes from eating it regularly during pregnancy. [/quote]

This is 100% wrong.

There's nothing that builds up in your system. The risk is of acute food poisoning and pregnant people are advised to avoid foods with higher than normal rates of things like listeria, which can kill a fetus. You could eat 1000 bagged salads during a pregnancy and be totally fine. Or you could eat one, have really bad luck, and that one happened to be contaminated.[/quote]

I think you didn’t understand the previous post. She wasn’t suggesting listeria builds up in your system, just that every time you eat bagged greens, there’s a risk of E. coli, listeria, etc…. So if you eat one medium rare burger, the risk is tiny, but if you eat a rare burger every day for 10 months, there’s a bigger risk one of those burgers will make you sick. [/quote]
