I'm a bit confused about whether I can eat this or not as I would love a chicken spread toastie/sandwich. Is it safe or do I need to avoid it? I forgot to ask at my midwife appointment :(

Not 100% sure but think should be ok - we told to avoid pate because generally contains liver, but a sandwich paste shouldn't contain liver so should be ok x

yeah I thought that. Might try some manufacturers websites to ask if safe :)

It's the liver in the pâté that's the reason you shouldn't eat it. Toxic for baby apparently so don't see a reason for you not to eat chicken and ham paste :-) I missed pâté so much when I was pregnant! That and runny boiled egg! Xxx

It's the vitamin A content that's the problem...

Chicken paste is often made from all the bits that otherwise don't sell - often including liver... I personally wouldn't, but I hate paste and pâtés ;-p

thanks dr fluffy, ive asked shipphams/princes about the contents of their pastes to see if they are safe. There is so much conflicting reports online, some say go for it and others say no. I dont eat pates, i think they are horrible, but i do love a paste toastie :)

If in doubt chuck it out! (first rule of kitchen work!) :) or better still sell to someone else.

I thought the thing with Pâté was Listeria as well as they say not to eat even Vegetarian varieties.

I cannot imagine your Sandwich Paste has that in it but Liver quite possibly!
