Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Cooked Italian pork sausage is safe with precautions during pregnancy when reheated until steaming hot. It provides complete protein, zinc, and iron, though it also contains notable saturated fat and sodium. Reheat the sausage to an internal temperature of at least 165°F to guarantee protection against foodborne pathogens. Slice into a hot vegetable marinara sauce over whole-wheat pasta.
