Pregnancy guidance
LimitSnapper is categorized by the FDA and EPA as a Good Choice fish that should be limited during pregnancy. It provides beneficial protein, potassium, and vitamin D, but its reef habitat contributes to moderate mercury accumulation. The FDA recommends limiting consumption to one four-ounce serving per week and eating no other fish during that week. Cook snapper fillets to an internal temperature of 145°F until the fish flakes readily.
