Pregnancy guidance
LimitHousehold vegetable shortening is safe in small amounts but should be limited during pregnancy. It provides calorie-dense fats with negligible amounts of protein, vitamins, or minerals. Use healthier cooking fats like olive oil, avocado oil, or butter in moderation instead of solid shortening. Reserve vegetable shortening for occasional baked goods rather than everyday meal preparation.
