Eating during pregnancy, the microbiological risks
Eating safe food is important for everyone’s health, but it is even more so for some categories of people that are more sensitive. Pregnant women represent one of these categories. In fact, after the conception, women’s body starts to change and this can make them more vulnerable and exposed to the possibility of contracting a foodborne disease. In these cases, it is not only the health of the mother that is at risk, but also the one of the child. Some of these diseases can have serious consequences for the foetus and could compromise its normal development.
