Egg nog

I was wondering if the ultra-pasteurized egg nog that you buy at the store is safe to drink? I called to talk to the nurse and all she said was she didn't know. What the heck? I want it so bad lol.

Pasteurized and ultra pasteurized are safe, and of course soy egg nog. :)

Raw eggs are a no-no during pregnancy, because they sometimes carry germs such as salmonella. Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning, and in very rare cases, be fatal. Contracting salmonella during pregnancy rarely harms your baby directly, but the high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration that accompany a bad case of food poisoning could cause preterm labor or miscarriage.

that's what I found on babycenter website. It also says you can look up a recipe where they cook it with a cooked egg and you can make it at home. Also try soy nog. It don't have no raw egg in there.
