Can Intake Of Contaminated Food Cause Any Risk To Pregnancy?

I just ate some fruit and after I started I found what looked to be like maggots in it. I had two separate fruits and only ate half of one, so I am not sure if I ate any. If I did will this be a problem? I just found out yesterday I am pregnant so this is upsetting me.

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Eating contaminated food can lead to gastrointestinal upset and diarrhoea and vomiting.
You should consult a physician for proper treatment, if you develop these symptoms.
Apart from this, there will be no effect on the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
