What to know or do
Ask your care team what range and monitoring approach applies to you. Bring up rapid change, persistent difficulty eating, swelling, vomiting, food insecurity or anxiety about weighing rather than trying to correct the number with a restrictive plan.
What changes the answer
- Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
- How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
- The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning
Check with your care team
When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
