Another food question- McDonald's tartar sauce- safe in pregnancy?

[JFTB1177]

Ok, this was the first time I've had McDonald's my entire pregnancy (and I rarely if ever eat it when not PG, anyway), but I was driving back from my doc appt and had a MAJOR craving for a fish sandwich so I got a filet-o-fish from McDonald's and ate it. Didn't think about it until afterwards, but now I wonder if the tartar sauce they use is safe in PG?

I'm 40 weeks now so "everything" should be safe-lol. But I am still a worrywart!

I'd say anything from McDonalds would be processed enough and with no raw/unpasteurized ingredients to be totally safe.  I'm guessing it would be no different from store-bought (not fresh made) mayonnaise.  Also, for all McDonalds's sins as far as healthy eating goes, I believe they have very high standards as far food safety goes, as they are such a big concern who would not benefit from cutting corners and getting a bad reputation.  So I would say worry not.

I hope it is ok because this has been a major craving of mine too!  I've had SEVERAL ... and I get extra tartar!  :)

I worked there for a long time, and there is really nothing in the tartar sauce. It's mostly oil. There is for sure no dairy or eggs. (If memory serves me, I am 100% on the dairy tho)

There is something about filet o fish that really hits the spot in pregnancy!

As long as you don't read the ingredients you might say it's safe lol!
