Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsPork and beef chorizo is safe with precautions during pregnancy when cooked or reheated until steaming hot. It offers protein and heme iron, but features high sodium, saturated fat, and spicy seasonings that may aggravate reflux. The USDA requires cooking fresh sausage to 160°F and reheating cured sausage to 165°F to ensure safety against Listeria. Crumble a small spoonful into thoroughly cooked scrambled eggs.
