caesar dressing — With care during pregnancy
A note from Emily
Emily's honest take
Oh, mama, I know those cravings can be strong! When it comes to Caesar dressing during pregnancy, the main thing to be aware of is whether it's made with raw eggs. Traditional homemade or restaurant Caesar dressings often contain raw egg yolks, which carry a small risk of *Salmonella* bacteria.

However, the good news is that most commercially bottled Caesar dressings you find in grocery stores are made with pasteurized eggs or are egg-free, making them safe for you to enjoy! If you're out at a restaurant, it's a great idea to ask if their Caesar dressing is made with pasteurized eggs or is egg-free to be on the safe side.

Always check with your OB if you have any specific concerns, mama.
