(HealthDay News) -- Women are more susceptible during pregnancy
to foodborne illness, which also can harm the unborn baby, the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says. The academy offers
these food safety suggestions for pregnant women: - Wash your
hands frequently. - Make sure you keep raw meat separate from
ready-to-eat foods. - Always cook food thoroughly until it
reaches the appropriate temperature. - Quickly refrigerate any
leftovers to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. - Avoid potentially
risky foods, such as raw or undercooked eggs or meat,
unpasteurized milk and raw fish. Copyright © 2012 HealthDay. All
