Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Butter croissants are safe for pregnant women to enjoy as an occasional breakfast pastry. They provide fortified iron and folate from enriched flour, but the laminated dough contains heavy butter and saturated fat. The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend balancing rich bakery items with nutrient-dense fruits and proteins. Warm your croissant in the oven and pair it with scrambled pasteurized eggs and fresh fruit.
