Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Canned Atlantic cod is recommended during pregnancy as an FDA Best Choice seafood. It offers easily digestible protein, iodine, and vitamin B12 with very low mercury levels. The FDA and EPA encourage pregnant women to eat two to three four-ounce servings of low-mercury fish each week. Mix canned cod with lemon juice, chopped herbs, and light olive oil for a simple high-protein lunch.
