Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Cooked octopus is recommended during pregnancy as an FDA Best Choice seafood. It supplies lean protein, vitamin B12, iron, and selenium while keeping mercury exposure minimal. The FDA requires cooking all cephalopods thoroughly until firm and opaque to destroy any potential foodborne pathogens. Simmer gently until tender and toss with olive oil, lemon juice, and parsley for a nutrient-dense salad.
