53. Safe food in pregnancy

When you become pregnant, endless information is thrown at you regarding what foods you can and can’t eat for the next 9 months. It can be very difficult to work out what is scientifically accurate and what has just been passed down from older relatives. In this episode, Brigid is talking about safe food in pregnancy with food and safety expert, Gary Kennedy. Gary has worked with more than 1000 companies and government departments to ensure their food handling is safe and complies with health standards. In this festive time of year, we’re all going to gatherings where food will be laid out on tables or at the barbeque in the backyard for an extended amount of time. We wanted to talk to an expert to keep you safe during the holidays and ensure your pregnancy is healthy. We discuss how to store food safely, how to choose safer food options when you’re out and about, what food is best to avoid and why, and what the safer options are for you at Christmas. This episode is absolutely jam packed full of useful and insightful information. Gary is a wealth of knowledge and we’re very grateful to have him on the show today to help educate pregnant women to make safer food choices. LINKS Instagram  @thekickpregnancypodcast_ Facebook  @thekickpregnancypodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
