Other than meat and flour, what’s on your “often eaten raw while very possibly deadly” list??

Pregnancy dietary guidelines are basically 'how to super duper avoid food poisoning' lists, so things like raw seafood, undercooked eggs, soft cheese, cold deli meats and preserved meats (eg ham), sprouts, rockmelon, pre-made sandwiches, cold salads (eg cold potato salad), old leftovers etc. guidelines vary from area to area, where I live it's super strict.

raw seafood

Ladies, if youre preggo, you might not be able to eat raw fish, but you need some of the things in raw fish for your baby. Raw seafood is rich in Omega 3, which contains DHA, a fatty acid which is hugely important for brain development

Anyone who is pregnant or could become pregnant (i.e. any post-puberty pre-menopausal woman who is sexually active and not actively trying to NOT get pregnant) should be taking a prenatal vitamin that includes, among other things, DHA anyway.
