Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Cooked edible snails are safe during pregnancy when prepared properly. They provide lean dietary protein, iron, and magnesium with negligible fat. Snails must be thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to kill potential parasites and bacteria. Choose commercially canned or prepared escargot from reputable suppliers rather than harvesting wild garden snails.

How to read this

During pregnancy you need more of certain nutrients each day, like folate, iron and choline. Each bar shows how much of that daily amount 100 g of Snail provides. 100% means 100 g alone covers the whole day; smaller numbers show its share. A ✓ marks 100% or more.
