Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw red bell peppers are safe and exceptionally nutritious during pregnancy when washed thoroughly. They supply more vitamin C per serving than oranges, along with ample folate and beta-carotene. CDC recommends washing peppers under clean running water before slicing to eliminate potential foodborne pathogens like Listeria. Enjoy crisp raw slices with pasteurized guacamole or bean dips for a colorful, nutrient-dense snack.
