Not to scare anyone but I saw the comment about subway and I used to work there. They DO NOT monitor anything. Basically they get it out of the fridge and put it out and then keep doing that until the expiration date.
Subway actually publicly states that their meat is not safe for pregnant women and toasting does not kill bacteria because it does not heat it to steaming . The only "safe" options while pregnant are tuna, meatball, and chicken breast subs.
I had a hot dog for lunch from Hardee's.. my OB says they're fine as long as they're cooked & you don't eat them every single day..
she said she had a patient who craved them & literally ate up to 6 a day!! lol
I'm not that obsessed with them, but I do enjoy one every now & then! (((:
As long as it's heated until steaming and you're not eating like 15 hot dogs a month, you're okay lol
My last pregnancy they made me really sick. I couldn't eat them again for a year & 1/2 but I've been craving them this pregnancy so when I made one I made homemade chili in the crockpot for the next day's dinner and used some of that on top of my hot dog with onions and mustard. I was extremely happy lol.. Luckily, they didn't make me sick so I really enjoyed that part, too...ha
Omg ! I'm so glad to read this post and all the responses. I absolutely hate hot dogs but ever since I've been pregnant I've been craving but fighting it knowing it was on the no no list. I'm wanting a gourmet style dog. Like a all beef with chili and jalapeƱos and cheese, or a Costco polish with kraut and mustard.....I'm going for it!
I ate a tuna sandwich (and not the light crap) friday and beef hot dogs last monday. Don't feel too guilty every once in a while is okay as long as they were well cooked.
I've been craving it with chili, no onions, I had spicy hot dogs the other night, they were soooooo good omg lol
