Pregnancy

You can eat barbecued food when you’re pregnant, as long as any meat or fish that you eat is thoroughly cooked. Cooking red meat, chicken and fish thoroughly kills any germs. If it’s not cooked properly, harmful bacteria or parasites can grow, giving you food poisoning. Best to boil the meat before popping on the grill.

Postpartum

It is the best to eat very limited amounts of barbecued meat soon after delivery. Just make sure it's cooked properly.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mums can eat barbecued meats with caution. Make sure they're cooked properly.

Baby

Barbecued meats are not suitable for babies under the age of 11 months.
