it's now on the 'bad' list becuase a study showed that many shops don't clean out their machines well, so bacteria grows over time Chat Icon


This is what I was told as well. A lot of the shops only rinse the machines with water & there is a chance that bacteria grows.

I take it all with a grain of salt at this point.

Re: Is soft serve ice cream bad to eat?

I think the best thing to do is to ask your doctor and decide from there what is best for you -

Everyone's MD tells them something different some are VERY conservative and strict and others are much more relaxed in the 'no no' list of foods and activities .......so I can completely understand why the woman who's MD said NO soft serve would stay away from it .......

BUT, if you listen to EVERY thing that every other pregnant woman (or anyone else for that matter) tells you about what you can/can not do and was is/is not dangerous, you'll go compeltely crazy -

I can see where the concern would be re: bacteria ........but there's bacteria EVERYWHERE .........why are JUST the soft serve machines a concern?

Re: Is soft serve ice cream bad to eat?

I worked in two ice cream/yogurt places in HS and I can say that those suckers were cleaned out thoroughly each night (which is one of the reasons why I HATED closing)... But it depends on the place of course.

One place is still there (I think)-- the Haagan Daz on Merrick Rd in Merrick-- if anyone has a hankering for fro yo.

I fully believe in the grossness of these machines as AP said-not all of these places are the cleanest. I don't like soft serve so I don't eat it anyway but this is just further deterrent for me

I never heard that about soft serve on a seperate note it makes me wonder about the coffee machine I use at work that comes out of a machine too and I'm the only one that cleans it! Chat Icon
