A member asked:
I am 30 weeks pregnant and just realised that i have been eating butter that expired 6 months ago. can i get listeriosis from the expired butter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely, but...: Had the butter been in the freezer or just out in the open for 6 months? Presumably it didn’t taste rancid, or you would have discontinued eating it. If you have not had any new/unusual symptoms (diarrhea, fever, joint pains, etc), it is unlikely that you have an infection. If you do notice symptoms, go immediately to the ER or follow up with your OB.
