Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Fried tofu is safe with precautions during pregnancy when cooked fresh and served piping hot. It supplies plant protein, iron, and calcium, though frying adds extra calories and saturated fats. Cook or reheat fried tofu thoroughly to at least 165°F to eliminate bacterial risks from prep surfaces. Combine it with stir-fried broccoli and brown rice for a satisfying meal.
