Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedSteamed bay and sea scallops are recommended during pregnancy as an FDA Best Choice seafood. They provide lean, easily absorbed protein, vitamin B12, and potassium while remaining very low in mercury. The FDA instructs that scallops must be cooked until the flesh turns milky white and firm to the touch. Incorporate steamed scallops into light whole-grain risotto or vegetable stir-fries.
