Pregnant women can consume outside food but should prioritize safety and hygiene. Opt for reputable eateries with clean environments. Avoid raw or undercooked meats, seafood, unpasteurized dairy, and soft cheeses due to the risk of foodborne illnesses. Check food freshness and avoid anything past its prime. Thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables before consumption. Exercise caution with salads and raw produce. Choose well-cooked meals and hot dishes over cold or room temperature options. When uncertain about food safety, it’s prudent to refrain. Consulting a healthcare provider for individualized dietary recommendations during pregnancy is advisable.
