For pregnant women, to reduce the risk of listeriosis, the adoption of some simple behavioral rules is recommended.
- Avoid consuming unpasteurized milk.
- Do not eat soft cheeses (eg brie, gorgonzola and camembert) and dairy products derived from raw milk.
- Avoid eating raw, raw or undercooked meat (eg sausages such as ham, salami and sausages), smoked or raw fish (sushi and sashimi) and seafood.
- Heat advanced or "ready-to-eat" foods at high temperature from supermarket, delicatessen and rotisserie counters.
- Thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables to be eaten raw (even the already washed vegetables that are on the market).
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after touching raw foods and using a detergent to clean the utensils that have come into contact with these foods.
