I just looked it up and UHT milk is recommended in pregnancy I think you may be confusing it with unpasteurised milk.

Which incidentally they used to sell in a lot of spar type shops when I was little but I haven't seen raw milk for sale in the uk for eons now...

Avoid high risk foods and always practice good food handling and hygiene. High risk foods include the following:

•Ready-to-eat seafood (eg. smoked fish, smoked mussels, oysters or raw seafood such as sushi).
•Pre-made salads, including coleslaw.
•Pre-cooked meat products which do not require further cooking or heating (eg. paté, sliced deli meat, and cooked diced chicken)
•Unpasteurised milk or foods made from unpasteurised milk
•Soft serve ice-cream
•Soft cheeses (eg. brie, camembert, ricotta – but all are safe if cooked and served hot)
It is perfectly fine to eat the following foods:

•All freshly cooked foods
•Hard cheeses, cheese spreads, processed cheese
•Milk – freshly pasteurised and UHT (longlife)
•Yoghurt
•Canned and pickled food

Makes it quite easy for me, i don't like most of the stuff on the high risk list except for salad and coleslaw but i'm always careful with that. Also its apparently bad to eat to much tuna as it contains mercury.
