Flash pasteurized

Ggurm

Is it safe to drink flash pasteurized drinks during pregnancy? I grabbed a mango smoothie from trader joes and as I opened it I read that it is flash pasteurized. I only took two sips and put it away

Is it safe to drink such drinks? Will it cause any harm to the baby?

Help!!!

I think I read somewhere that flash pasteurization isn't good enough (or at least there isn't enough info available to say one way or another).

Thank you for the reply.
I think I m just not going to drink it. I am just worried about two sips I had. I just sent an email to my doctor. Lets see what she says. FX

OK, I actually emailed naked juice about that last pregnancy. nbsp;They responded saying that the flash pasteurization process did properly kill all bacteria. nbsp;So I wouldn't worry.nbsp;

. I one I got is trader joes brand. I wonder If trader joes flash pasteurized is same as naked and it is enough to kill all the bacteria?

TLiggy

Flash pasteurization just means it was heated and then cooled very quickly to avoid changing the chemical composition/taste/texture; pasteurization is an allornothing kinda thing. If it says pasteurized its just fine. Drink up!
