Does anyone know if eating wild game in pregnancy is okay? I have thawed out a pheasant and I was just thinking that it may have different bacteria or something on it and don't want to take any chances! Any links would be helpful as well........thanks!

i thought this was a completely different question too lol
but yes you can as long as you cook it throughout, and it isn't rare at all. must have it cooked above 150 degrees from what i hear.

No!!! There is a risk of ingesting lead due to the "shot" that is used to hunt and kill the game. Lead is very dangerous for a developing fetus. If you really feel like eating something that taste along the same lines, but is safe from lead, buy a cornish game hen at the grocery, they are raised, not hunted.

Bacteria dies/is killed at something like 160 or 180 degrees F. I'm not recalling which right now, but it's around there. Cook anything past that temperature and you've killed the bacteria.

Why not? You can be sure our ancestors did it all the time. If there was anything wrong with it, none of us would be here. Cooking it thoroughly will kill any bacteria that may be in it, so you have nothing to worry about.

Wow, I totally thought this question was about something else.
I think wild game is fine as long as it's cooked properly but I'm not an expert.

purely see you later because it really is cooked ideas-blowing, it really is great. And steer away from organ meats. I regarded up a similar element formerly this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days when we were ingesting venison and positioned that it really is completely possibility-free, see you later because it really is prepared ideas-blowing. per chance you may provide me recipe concepts on the venison - to say that mine is cooked ideas-blowing is an overstatement - it always appears like shoe leather-depending!

If it has been handled properly it is probably better for you.
Feeding processed animals antibiotics breeds drug resistant bacteria inside them. Giving beef growth hormones can't be too good either.

Like anything else just make sure it is fully cooked.
This is always true of wild game, whether you are pregnant or not.

As long as you cook it thoroughly you are fine, I like to use it in chicken and noodles, pheasant and noodles is awesome.

For those of ou who don't know SUSHI s totally banned during pregnancy. It is raw. I recently took care of a woman who had eaten sushi in Japan and got a parasite that destroyed her corneas leaving her blind. I took care of her during er corneal transplant and she does have vision again. Cooked food is fine but RAW isout.
