Ready meals during pregnancy

Of the 1 ready meals entries here, 1 is fine. Usually it's how something was cooked or stored that decides it, not the food itself — each entry says which, and why.

Every ready meals entry, with a verdict

Sorted with the ones worth knowing about first. Avoid means skip it entirely; take care means it depends on how it was prepared.

  • All types of pre-cooked meals that you need to cook before eating

    Safe

    It's okay to eat pre-cooked meals. Make sure to cook them well (unless they are steamed) by following the directions on the package. You're better off choosing fresh-cooked food during pregnancy though.

Still not sure about a specific dish?

Photograph it. Hello Belly reads the meal, tells you whether anything in it needs care at your week, and logs the nutrition — protein, iron, folate, calcium, DHA — without you typing a gram.
