Pregnancy guidance
LimitFruitcake is safe in small portions during pregnancy, provided it does not contain unbaked alcohol. It offers small amounts of dietary iron and potassium from dried fruits, but it carries a dense load of added sugars and syrups. The NHS warns that pregnant women should avoid any desserts prepared with unevaporated distilled spirits or rum. Select alcohol-free fruitcake varieties and keep portion sizes modest.
