Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Hard shell beef tacos are safe with precautions during pregnancy when the ground beef is fully cooked. Ground beef supplies bioavailable heme iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 to prevent maternal anemia and support fetal cell replication. The CDC emphasizes cooking ground meat to 160°F to destroy harmful bacteria like E. coli. Make sure all raw lettuce and tomato toppings are thoroughly washed under running tap water.
