Can you eat Pop Rocks while pregnant?

Pop Rocks is like other hard candy and the ingredients include sugar, lactose (milk sugar) corn syrup and flavoring. But Pop Rocks are processed with Carbon Dioxide.

The ingredients are heated together and boiled. The hot sugar mixture is mixed with carbon dioxide gas at about 600 PSI. The carbon dioxide gas forms tiny, 600 PSI bubbles in the candy.

Once it cools you release the pressure and the candy shatters, but the pieces still contain the high-pressure bubbles (look at a piece with a magnifying glass to see the bubbles). When you put the candy in your mouth, it melts (just like hard candy) and releases the bubbles with a loud POP! What you are hearing and feeling is the 600 PSI carbon dioxide gas being released from each bubble.

although processed with carbon dioxide, you do not consume actual carbon dioxide when you eat them! the pop rocks will not effect your babys health and growth! good luck with your pregnancy! hope this helped :)

Sure you can eat them, but it's not going to be great for your young 'un, just like any candy.

as long as you pop the candy in your mouth and not swallow it so it pops in your stomach i think you are ok!

Lol, I'm sure they're fine to eat.
