Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Restaurant sesame chicken is safe with precautions during pregnancy provided it is served fresh and steaming hot. It provides dietary protein and small amounts of minerals from sesame seeds, though sweet sauces increase total carbohydrate intake. Verify that the chicken is fully cooked inside with no translucent meat remaining. Order a side of steamed greens to enhance fiber and micronutrient variety.
