And now the controversial mum has been slammed as negligent in a recent recipe video.
Taking to social media, Nara, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, shared her recipe for cookies.
All was going well as she showed the delicious soft-baked cookies until she revealed what she was drinking with them.
Most people like to have a glass of milk with their cookies, and Nara did just that, but this time, with raw milk.
“These hit the spot with some cold raw milk,” the mum said as she finished her video, sparking a horrified response from concerned viewers.
The drink has been illegal to buy in the UK for forty years due to dangerous bacteria found in raw dairy products.
One wrote: “Raw milk while pregnant is actually unhinged.”
Another commented: “Raw milk at any time is absolutely bonkers. Raw milk while you’re pregnant is borderline negligent.”
“Raw milk while pregnant is crazy… why is pasteurisation a problem?” added a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “Raw milk for why?? You are taking an enormous risk for no reason.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administratio said pregnant women run a serious risk of becoming ill drinking raw milk.
Listeria, a germ often found in raw milk can cause miscarriage, or illness, or death of the newborn baby.
“If you are pregnant, drinking raw milk – or eating foods made from raw milk – can harm your baby even if you don’t feel sick,” they warned.
Nara has gained a massive following on social media due to her ‘trad wife’ lifestyle.
She’s often seen in the kitchen baking extravagant meals from scratch while wearing designer dresses worth thousands of pounds.
She shares Rumble, four, Slim Easy, three, and Whimsy Lou, one, with Lucky, 27 – whom she tied the knot with in 2020
What is raw milk and the dangers?
Most milk goes through pasteurisation before it is consumed.
This is where it is cooked to below boiling point to kill off bacteria and micro-organisms.
However, raw milk is not pasteurised and can be harmful.
As more people drank milk in the 20th Century an increase in milkborne diseases ripped through humans.
Tuberculosis, typhoid, scarlet fever and diphtheria were just a few of the serious illnesses spread through raw milk.
These diseases were virtually eliminated in humans with the implementation of pasteurisation, in combination with improved management practices on dairy farms.
Raw milk can carry dangerous bacteria such as salmonella, e-coli, listeria and campylobacter.
A 2019 Public Health England review finds raw milk responsible for 26 outbreaks of intestinal infectious disease in England and Wales between 1992 and 2017.
These involved 343 people and resulted in 41 hospitalisations. There were no outbreaks between 2003 and 2013, but seven occured between 2014 and 2017.
It’s been illegal to sell unpasteurised dairy milk in supermarkets or high street shops in England, Wales and Northern Ireland since 1985 and it’s outlawed in Scotland.
