I dont eat it as the whole meat issue as well as veggies sitting there plus I dont know how well they were washed etc! I personally would stay away!
My SIL eats it and her bub is ok sooo far (we are due 3 days apart) and she eats salads from other salad places...but I too am anal about what I eat during pregnancy!

I'm anal about everything else, KFC, Mc'Ds, deli, shellfish etc, but I dunno, so far so good I guess...it doesn't seem like that much of a risk to me.

My midwife didn't mention anything about the other fast food places, kfc, mcd's etc but did say stay away from the deli, seafood, sushi, buffet's, and subway! I thought if she specifically made mention about Subway then there's probably a good reason and I'll do well to leave it alone.
Personal choice though

See I dont eat out at places like McD's but if I do I tell them to leave the letuce etc out from my burger or wrap or what ever! Its mainly salad I worry about!
And meat from dodgy places!

Also the risk of toxic plasmosis (sp?) through vegies that aren't washed properly. My doc said the risk of contracting it that way is getting almost as bad as through kitty pooh. |
Omg are you serious? i thought it was just being out in the garden handling dirt and breathing in the dirt particles or handling animal feaces  .
Now i have to worry about salads 
Sorry to thread jack

Yip, apparently the risk is also there through unwashed vegies so any salad from anywhere that hasn't been washed could be a potential risk. My MW had a lady that contracted it but they dont know where from. My dad had TP and i've never seen anyone so sick. It was awful! One book told me that I had to wash all vegies in detergent before eating them. Me thinks the detegent aint that hot for a baby either lol. Perhaps that's just one far end of the scale.
My mum says i'm being paranoid and that they did all these things and had healthy babies but I think times are a changing and the fast food industry has changed alot. Even runny yolks are a risk, what's happening to our food!!!!!!!
The question is, what are the chances of picking TP or food poisoning at a fast food place? Does anyone know of any stats in regards to this kind of thing? I have no idea but I am really missing the home made hollandaise sauce from Elm cafe here in Palmy lol. She makes it from scratch with raw eggs so i'm not allowed it

I don't think the risks of getting it are particularly high - it's more the fact that if you were unlucky enough to get it, the consequences to your baby could be fatal. For me, that was enough of a reason to avoid certain foods for 9 months.
Oh & the sub that Mum & I recently got sick from was a hot morrocan lamb one, so it wasn't even a cold meat one ....

I wrote an article on Food Safety During Pregnancy, and Nic01 is right - the risk itself is very low, but the consequences are very serious. There is more info on the risks here and info on making safe choices when eating out here.
