Raw or Undercooked Meat

Raw or Undercooked Meat

Order those hamburgers you crave well done: undercooked meat, including beef, pork, and even poultry, may carry a variety of organisms, such as parasites and bacteria. While infection by these organisms may not cause you to feel particularly bad, it can have potentially devastating consequences for your unborn baby. Make sure your meat is fully cooked — a meat thermometer may come in handy — to ensure that you’re keeping your baby as safe as possible.
