can you drink eggnog when you're pregnant

Drinking traditional eggnog during pregnancy is not safe if it contains raw eggs or alcohol due to risks of salmonella infection and fetal harm. However, pasteurized, alcohol-free eggnog that is commercially prepared can be safely consumed during pregnancy, as it eliminates these risks. Homemade eggnog should be avoided unless it is made with pasteurized eggs and contains no alcohol. It is also advisable to check labels and ingredients carefully before drinking eggnog while pregnant.
