Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Restaurant orange chicken is safe with precautions during pregnancy when freshly cooked and served hot. The chicken provides animal protein, but the deep-fried coating and citrus syrup add high amounts of sugar and saturated fat. Ensure the poultry is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F before eating. Enjoy in moderation and balance the meal with plain steamed vegetables.
