Tori Spelling sure researches her promotional appearances before she gets paid! Our cameras caught a ready-to-pop Mrs. McDermott waddling around Beverly Hills with the Mister and baby Liam Saturday, happily answering a whole bunch of questions - until that whole serving pregnant women soft-serve ice cream that kills fetuses no-no comes up.
Where did we get our information from? It's called Google, Dean. Your kid can teach you how it works.

Why is Baskin-Robbins trotting out Tori Spelling to push its new line of soft-serve ice cream on other pregnant women when soft-serve is a known taboo for preggo women?

Several sources in the know -- including one pregnant OB/GYN -- tell TMZ that there are "definite" health risks associated with soft-serve ice cream for expectant moms because of Listeria bacteria. Softie machines can be studded with bacteria that can cause all kinds of issues for newborns -- in fact, Down Under, it's pretty much forbidden for preggo women.
B-R tells TMZ in a statement, "Our Soft Serve products are continuously monitored by our suppliers, and our pasteurization process is state inspected and certified on a regular basis. The only way Listeria, which has been found in a variety of raw foods, can be found in soft serve would be through improper pasteurization."
