Can i eat mock cream when pregnant

You have nothing to worry about as it is a 'mock' cream which is totally shelf stable. Both my brother in laws are bakers and there is no risk of listeria from a sponge cake. Coles sponge cakes are with fresh cream not mock cream. Hopefully they are ok with the fresh cream. Makes me feel better that others have eaten them. I think it would be fine as the cream would be pasteurised? I had one a few weeks ago too. I guess were all in it together. Ive generally been a little bit less cautious with this pregnancy.

I am leaning more towards if you feel like you really want to eat it then it can't be that bad. Maybe it's because we don't have a bakery at our Coles The sponges all have mock cream and aren't even in the refrigerated section. I've tried to be less worried about what I eat this pregnancy but then I google and find out all bad info and then stress.

It makes me feel so much better to hear others in the same situation. Seems that there are so many foods that shouldn't be eaten or there are rules that come with them. My parents are amazed and call it Listeria Hysteria lol. Thanks for all the responses. Appreciate it!! Log in or sign up to post a comment! Recent posts in July Autism diagnosis by JadeC Pregnant women are 10—20 times more likely to get listeria infection than the general population. Even a mild infection in a pregnant woman can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth or a baby who is very ill when born.

Listeria can be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy or birth. Newborn babies infected with listeria may show signs of infection at birth or during the first few days of life. Infection in newborn babies can be very severe and can include lung infection pneumonia and meningitis. Infected babies may have severe difficulty with breathing and feeding.

If you think you have eaten food contaminated with listeria or if you have any of the symptoms of listeria infection, contact your doctor or midwife right away.

Remember that it can take 2 months for symptoms to appear. Your doctor may ask for a blood test to see whether you have listeria infection. You may need to take antibiotics to treat the infection and prevent your baby from becoming infected.

Foods that are contaminated with listeria don't look, smell or taste off. Cooking and pasteurisation are the only ways to kill listeria.
