Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Freshwater trout is recommended during pregnancy as an FDA Best Choice fish. It supplies substantial omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, complete protein, and vitamin B12 with minimal mercury. The FDA recommends two to three servings of low-mercury fish per week, cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F. If eating wild trout caught from local streams, check state fish advisories for regional water safety standards.
