Pregnancy guidance

Avoid

Cooked chicken liver should be avoided during pregnancy due to hazardous amounts of preformed vitamin A. Liver contains exceptionally high concentrations of retinol, which can cause severe fetal malformations and developmental birth defects. Both ACOG and the NHS instruct pregnant women to avoid eating liver or taking high-dose retinol supplements. Substitute other poultry cuts like chicken thighs or breasts for safe dietary iron and protein.
