Listeria and frozen yogurt

bizzerbee · September 2015

How many of you ladies had your OB specifically tell you not to eat FroYO?

I've never heard this and this is my third pregnancy and I've used 3 different doctors or midwives.

I never had a dr tell me I couldn't eat that. I'm pregnant with my fourth baby.

I choose not to hear it ☺️ I believe the risks are so small anyways.

My doctor didn't say anything about it. When I heard that it was a concern based on the cleanliness of the machines, I decided if we went somewhere like that, we'd make sure we stuck to large chains that we'd been to before and had no problems with. You can always ask the manager there how often they clean the machines if you're concerned

This was one of the few specific things my doctor said no about and yet said it was okay to have multiple iced coffees. I am just confused since it would seem so unlikely to actually get listeria from the machines unless the whole establishment looked unkept. Just wanted to see if maybe this was just a quirk of my OB or if it's something that most OBs feel you should just avoid. Thanks ladies

My doctor has never said anything about it. I had it once so far.

Never heard anything from my OB. Though she is pretty relaxed except for caffeine limits and seafood to be wary of.

Several of the most recent listeria outbreaks have been dairy/ice cream related. With that said, my MW never said anything about it and I'm not concerned.

I talked to someone at a chain here in my area about how they clean the machines and she said that they're shut down and cleaned every night. You can always tell by taste when they aren't emptying the machines and cleaning because it will taste a bit like spoiled milk.

Not about frozen yogurt, but here is an article released today about listeria outbreak in soft cheeses:
