Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Fresh duck eggs are safe with precautions during pregnancy only when cooked until both yolk and white are completely firm. They provide dense amounts of choline for fetal brain development, along with vitamin B12 and protein. Consuming raw or runny duck eggs carries a significant risk of Salmonella infection. Cook duck eggs thoroughly by hard boiling or frying until yolks are completely solid.
