Pregnancy guidance
LimitDulce de leche should be limited during pregnancy due to its high concentration of added sugar. The prolonged boiling process makes it microbiologically sterile and safe, providing calcium and riboflavin from condensed milk. However, the high sugar density can lead to sharp spikes in maternal blood glucose levels. Use a single teaspoon as an occasional topping on plain yogurt or sliced fruit.
