Safety Status

The verdict is in: βœ… Safe. Galettes, with their simple base of flour, butter, and water, are generally considered safe during pregnancy, provided you are mindful of additional toppings or fillings.

As a mother, you want the best for your baby, and every bite you take has a story to tell. Galettes are rich in carbohydrates, providing the essential energy boost you need. However, care should be taken to avoid fillings like soft cheeses or raw seafood, which may pose a risk.

Limit yourself to 1 galette per day, ensuring it is balanced with a variety of other nutritious foods.
