Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Restaurant General Tso's chicken is safe with precautions during pregnancy when served piping hot. It provides poultry protein and niacin, though battered frying and sweet glaze make it high in sugar and sodium. Check that the chicken meat is thoroughly cooked to 165°F and skip dishes that sat under heat lamps. Pair a moderate portion with plenty of steamed broccoli and brown rice.
