Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Pork pupusas are safe with precautions during pregnancy when cooked thoroughly on the griddle. They offer animal protein, B vitamins, and dietary energy to support growing maternal metabolic needs. Make certain the pork filling is thoroughly cooked and the pupusa arrives steaming hot throughout. Pair them with a side of black beans and sliced avocado.
