Flash pasteurized

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!!!

Re: Flash pasteurized

  • 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?
  • 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!
    Love is everything.
