Pregnancy guidance

Limit

White chocolate is safe to consume during pregnancy, but should be strictly limited. It contains cocoa butter, milk solids, and sugar, which means it provides virtually no cocoa flavonoids or iron. ACOG advises limiting confectionery high in added sugars and saturated fats to prevent unwanted glucose spikes. Enjoy a single square on occasion, or swap for dark chocolate to receive modest mineral benefits.
