Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Baby Ruth candy bars should be limited during pregnancy due to high sugar, nougat, and caramel content. Peanuts offer small amounts of protein and zinc, but the heavy confectionery syrups make the bar high in empty calories. The USDA advises reducing added sugars to promote optimal pregnancy health. Choose raw or roasted nuts when you need sustained energy between meals.
