Cook eggs until both the white and the yolk are firm, and cook meat, poultry and seafood until steaming hot throughout.

Avoid pre-prepared salads, deli meats, pâté, raw sprouts and cold smoked or raw seafood while pregnant, and wash all produce well.
Refrigerate leftovers within two hours, keep them at or below 5°C, and reheat once until steaming hot throughout.
