Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Canned light tuna in oil is recommended during pregnancy as an FDA Best Choice fish. It provides complete protein, vitamin B12, and vitamin D while maintaining low methylmercury levels compared to albacore or bigeye tuna. The FDA and EPA recommend eating two to three four-ounce servings of canned light tuna each week. Drain the packing oil and mix with diced vegetables for a quick lunch.
