Food Safety Resources for Pregnant Women

Promote food safety to pregnant women with the help of these resources: a printable public service announcement, a poster, and Facebook posts. There is also a fact sheet with safety tips and foods to avoid. All these resources direct people to a free safe food handling guide on the Healthy Canadians website.

Public Service Announcement

Are you pregnant? You and your baby are at greater risk of food poisoning and related complications.

QUICK TIP
Soft and semi-soft cheeses should be avoided, even if pasteurized.

When you are pregnant, your body is less able to fight off harmful bacteria. This puts you, and your baby, at greater risk for food poisoning and serious health complications, including miscarriage.
