Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Cooked crayfish is recommended during pregnancy as an FDA Best Choice shellfish. It supplies valuable amounts of protein, choline, and vitamin B12 with minimal mercury accumulation. The FDA instructs that crayfish must be boiled or steamed thoroughly until the shells turn bright red and the meat is firm. If consuming wild crayfish caught by friends or family in local waters, check local water advisories for regional pollutant limits.
