PSA on health juices!

Totally random but felt like I needed to get some added nutrition in veggie department and figured buying some green juices from Whole Foods would help. Well my hubby noticed that it said unpasturized on the side and I decided to do some research and low and behold it's a big fat no-no for preggo's. I guess I am just sharing this because I never thought to check if my healthy green juice was pasteurized. Just cheeses! If you like to juice, just check the label :). I'm sure most are and Whole Foods is just a random one!

  • Drink your juice. You'll be fine.

  • The danger doesn't come from the juice but from the juicer which may harbor bacteria.  Just use your best judgement as to if the establishment is reputable and clean.  Same thing with soft serve and deli meat!

  • I make sure my store-bought juices are pasteurized too. Many of them sold at Whole Foods are not. Of course, I make my own juice at home sometimes and don't worry about that :)

  • I've definitely had unpasteurized juice while pregnant.  I always thought it was an issue because of the preservatives, so I only drink it the first day after we get it from the store.
