LJB23 Â Â 10 #3 Posted March 6, 2010 You have to avoid home made mayo as it contains raw egg but shop bought are fine as they are pasturised Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
123456A Â Â 10 #4 Posted March 6, 2010 Your dip is fine. the egg has been processed. Just don't eat raw egg or unpasturised products such as milk and some cheeses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
medusa   16 #5 Posted March 6, 2010 Although you can eat dip which is freshly bought, in date, sealed and has been kept in decent conditions, if you were to break any of these conditions I'd chuck it if I were you.  I've seen the random microbiological testing results from dips, hummus, coleslaw and particularly the shop displays of prepared salads and generally speaking they are a very good culture medium and have bacteria levels way over that of other supermarket purchases.  I'd say the safest thing to do would be to buy mass produced mayonnaise which is fine for during pregnancy and then make your own dips and consume them within a few hours. That way the dip doesn't have the time to sit on a shelf, gradually growing a crop of nasties.  Sorry to sound like the harbinger of doom, but if a risk is higher than necessary I figure why take it.
