Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Fish roe is safe during pregnancy only if it is commercially pasteurized or thoroughly cooked. It delivers concentrated omega-3 fatty acids, choline, and vitamin B12, but raw or chilled roe carries a serious risk of Listeria monocytogenes. The FDA and CDC recommend avoiding unpasteurized refrigerated fish roe found in sushi or deli counters. Choose jarred pasteurized roe or cook fresh fish eggs thoroughly in hot soups or sauces.

How to read this

During pregnancy you need more of certain nutrients each day, like folate, iron and choline. Each bar shows how much of that daily amount 100 g of Roe provides. 100% means 100 g alone covers the whole day; smaller numbers show its share. A ✓ marks 100% or more.
