Can I eat spring rolls while pregnant?

When it comes to spring rolls, whether they are fresh (like Vietnamese summer rolls) or fried, the main thing to remember is that all ingredients, especially meats and seafood, need to be thoroughly cooked to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. If you're having fresh spring rolls, be sure any raw vegetables and herbs have been meticulously washed. It's also best to avoid raw sprouts, like bean sprouts, unless they've been cooked until steaming hot, as they can carry harmful bacteria. Fried spring rolls are generally safe if they're cooked through, but remember they can be higher in salt and fat, so they're best as an occasional treat.
