A member asked:

16wks pregnant.realised i took a bite of an apple that was slightly sour.expiry date was 2 months ago. no bruising seemed fine & crunchy. harm baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Expired apple: The purpose of expiration date of fruit like apple is to ensure that the quality is maintained. At 16 weeks gestation, it is unlikely that a bite of an apple fruit will not affect your fetus in any way. Please be rest assured that you and your fetus are fine.
