Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Phyllo dough is safe to use in home baking during pregnancy when baked until completely crisp and cooked through. It offers a light pastry alternative with fortified riboflavin and iron, carrying much less saturated fat than puff pastry. The FDA advises that all raw dough products must undergo complete cooking to neutralize foodborne pathogens. Wrap phyllo sheets around pasteurized spinach and feta filling for a savory, nutrient-packed dish.
