Hygiene during pregnancy

Good kitchen hygiene during pregnancy helps reduce exposure to bacteria and other foodborne pathogens. Wash hands before preparing food and after handling raw meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, or unwashed produce.

Keep raw and ready-to-eat foods separate, clean food-contact surfaces, and refrigerate perishable foods promptly. Washing hands with soap and water is especially important after handling raw ingredients.
