Quail (Raw)
NOT RECOMMENDED
Eating raw meat puts you at risk of exposure to harmful bacteria like coliform bacteria, salmonella, and e. coli, and can cause toxoplasmosis, a serious parasitic infection. Although most of these infections can probably not cross the placenta, they could make you sick enough to negatively affect your baby’s growth and development. Because of this, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that women cook all meat thoroughly during pregnancy before eating it – about 170 degrees Fahrenheit at the center for steak. You can always talk to your health care provider if you have more questions.
