Pregnancy guidance
LimitFresh bluefin tuna should be strictly limited during pregnancy. While it provides omega-3 fatty acids and protein, bluefin is a massive predatory fish that accumulates significant levels of methylmercury. The FDA advises pregnant women to limit predatory tuna varieties to at most one four-ounce serving per week or choose canned light tuna instead. Ensure fresh tuna steaks are cooked thoroughly to 145°F rather than eaten seared rare or raw.
